Al Jazeera put the Canary Islands’ arrivals for Nov. 1-10 at more than 7,400.
The Al Jazeera video report gave a separate figure of more than 300 migrants rescued off the archipelago.
Reuters counted 3,261 rescues across the archipelago from Nov. 1-6 and said arrivals were straining transport and medical services. EconoTimes previously covered the six-day rescue tally.
Authorities declared an emergency on El Hierro Nov. 7 after local officials recorded more than 3,300 arrivals on about 30 boats. Fernando Clavijo, the Canary Islands’ regional leader, said the pace was approaching the 2024 record, with some days already above it. Clavijo said local authorities diverted buses to migration operations and sent medical personnel from other islands to La Restinga.
