The 'Charles storm' does not stop the cayucos in El Hierro: "Today is not a day to be at sea, if there is anyone out there, they have it very complicated"

The Canary Islands, particularly El Hierro, are facing a migration crisis with a significant influx of boats arriving from Africa. Local residents express concerns about the strain on resources and the dangers faced by migrants at sea. The island is under a state of emergency due to the high number of arrivals, with calls for more police support. Fishermen highlight the perilous conditions of the Atlantic route, where overcrowded and poorly constructed boats often capsize. The lack of transparency regarding migrant journeys complicates understanding the full impact of this crisis, as many lives are lost at sea without proper records.
