Seven Dead, Including Three Children, in Migrant Boat Capsizing off El Hierro

At least seven migrants, including three children, died in a tragic boat capsizing off the coast of El Hierro, Canary Islands. The incident occurred during a rescue operation near the port of La Restinga. According to experts, the small size of the port and the large number of migrants made the disembarkation process extremely difficult. A reporter on the scene stated, "The most delicate moment of the rescue was when the migrants were disembarking, and a part of them fell into the water." The rescue services, despite their efforts, were unable to prevent the loss of life. This tragedy underscores the dangers faced by migrants attempting perilous sea journeys and highlights the need for improved safety measures.
