In the past year, migration routes have shifted from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic, resulting in thousands of deaths on the perilous journey from West Africa to the Canary Islands. A recent rescue by the Spanish Coast Guard highlighted the plight of a mother and her newborn, drawing attention to the ongoing humanitarian crisis. Local officials criticize both the Spanish government and the EU for inadequate support in handling the influx of migrants, particularly vulnerable minors. Reports reveal that approximately 10,000 individuals lost their lives during this treacherous migration path over the last year.
