According to the armed forces, people have been arrested in the towns of Nador, M’diq and Fnideq. Melilla and Ceuta have the EU’s only land border with Africa. The areas are therefore a regular destination for people hoping for a better life in Europe.
Morocco is a transit country for many migrants on their way to Europe. Another route takes you via the Canary Islands, which belong to Spain and are located about 150 kilometers off the coast of the North African country. However, the route across the Atlantic Ocean is considered particularly dangerous due to the strong currents. The migrants often travel with insufficient water supplies in overloaded boats that are not suitable for the crossing.
According to the Spanish Ministry of the Interior, more than 32,430 migrants reached the Canary Islands by boat between January 1 and November 15, 2023. Hundreds of people died trying to get there. (SDA)
