Video. Weekend sees significant migrant landings in Canary Islands

One boat arrived in La Gomera, while four reached El Hierro. Among the migrants were individuals from diverse countries, including Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso, and six Yemenis. The Atlantic route is increasingly used, with more Syrians present due to tighter controls on the Mediterranean route. Several minors arrived, and Mauritanian canoes are becoming more common than larger Senegalese ones.
