Over 200 Migrants Rescued Near Canary Islands As Spain Looks To Curb African Migration On August 31, Spanish coast guard rescued 249 migrants from two boats off the Canary Islands, with 174 brought to El Hierro and 75 to Gran Canaria. This surge in migration, up 154% this year, has overwhelmed local resources. Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez visited West Africa on August 27 to address migration issues and counter Russian influence. Authorities anticipate a further rise in arrivals, potentially reaching 150,000 more migrants, prompting plans to use military camps and tents for housing.
