This Wednesday, the Canary Islands experienced the umpteenth example of the migration drama. canoe A boat with dozens of people on board capsized this morning off the island of El Hierro as it approached the port of La Restinga to disembark. The vessel was carrying more than 100 people, including children, and Canarian authorities have confirmed seven fatalities: four women, a 16-year-old girl, and two five-year-old girls.
