A small boat has reached the north coast of the island this Sunday, specifically Punta del Palo beach near Órzola.

According to reports from the Coordinating Center for Emergencies and Security (Cecoes), among the occupants of the boat are 34 men, three women, and three minors.

All of them were assisted by the usual health device in these cases, requiring the transfer of a man to a hospital on the island for mild pathologies.

Agents from the Local Police, Civil Protection, Civil Guard, and Red Cross have come to the scene.

Since the afternoon of this Saturday, more than 409 migrants have arrived in the Canary Islands traveling aboard eight boats, all rescued by Maritime Rescue except for this last one that arrived directly on the coast.
