Between Jan. 1 and Oct. 15 of this year, the islands in the Atlantic have received 23,537 migrants, an 80% increase from the same period last year, according to official data.If that pace continues, the archipelago which lies around 100 kilometres off Africa's west coast could exceed a record set in 2006, when almost 32,000 migrants reach the islands.
They were among more than 200 people who on Thursday reached the islands, after 800 were rescued the previous day, according to the emergency services. Escriva said the government pledged that there will be no more than 6,000 migrants in the Canary islands at any given time, with additional arrivals being transferred to the mainland.
