Spanish coast guard rescued 1,488 people on 14 boats. This is a record daily figure since 2020. One overloaded vessel carried 240 people at once, including 36 children. Most of the arrivals are from Senegal, Gambia and Guinea. To reach Spanish territory, they cross the Atlantic Ocean in wooden fishing boats. This route is considered one of the deadliest in the world.
