西属加那利群岛移民激增:11月前六天3261人获救、耶罗岛宣布社会紧急状态,地区主席称已不可持续

拉雷斯廷加——西班牙海上救援部门11月6日表示,11月头六天已在西属加那利群岛海域救起3261名移民;加那利自治区政府按抵达船只清点,11月1日至6日共有49艘船、约4587人抵达群岛,其中35艘抵达最西端的耶罗岛,西班牙媒体称11月以来累计抵达人数已接近5000人。
耶罗岛是欧洲自西非接收移民的主要门户之一,全岛居民仅约11400人。岛议会11月6日(周五)宣布进入社会紧急状态,议会主席阿尔皮迪奥·阿玛斯以法令形式要求自治区与中央政府增派支援:岛议会说,过去五周已有8000多人乘船抵达,仅最近五天就有3000多人、乘约30艘独木舟式渔船(cayuco)上岸。
自治区主席费尔南多·克拉维霍6日警告,抵达人数已接近2024年的破纪录水平、有些日子的速度甚至更高,耶罗岛的情况「绝对不可持续」。周四晚间,海上救援人员把两艘船上约500人送到耶罗岛拉雷斯廷加港,并打捞起一具遗体;近几周已有至少9名移民在这一海域死亡,另有一名病情危重的婴儿在抵达后被空运送医。
从西非横渡大西洋前往加那利群岛是全球最致命的移民路线之一。试图横渡的人通常在秋季增多,因为这段时间海况相对平静。尽管本轮出现激增,2026年前十个月抵达加那利群岛的人数仍比2024年同期低近61%。

Migrant Surge Hits Spain's Canary Islands: 3,261 Rescued in the First Six Days of November as El Hierro Declares a Social Emergency
LA RESTINGA, Spain — Spain's maritime rescue service said on November 6 that it had rescued 3,261 migrants in the first six days of November in the waters around the Canary Islands. The regional government, counting arrivals by boat, put the figure at 49 boats carrying about 4,587 people between November 1 and 6, 35 of them bound for the westernmost island of El Hierro; Spanish media put total arrivals since the start of November at close to 5,000.
El Hierro, home to about 11,400 residents, is one of Europe's key entry points for migrants arriving from West Africa. The island council declared a social emergency on Friday, November 6, with its president, Alpidio Armas, formally requesting more support from the regional and national governments by decree: the council said more than 8,000 people had arrived by boat over the previous five weeks, and more than 3,000 in the last five days alone, aboard about thirty cayucos.
Regional president Fernando Clavijo warned on Friday that arrival numbers were approaching the record-breaking levels seen in 2024, and on some days the pace was even higher, calling the situation on El Hierro absolutely unsustainable. On Thursday night, rescue services brought about 500 people from two boats ashore at the port of La Restinga on El Hierro and recovered one body. At least nine migrants have died off the islands in recent weeks, and a critically ill baby was airlifted to hospital upon arrival.
The Atlantic route from West Africa to the Canary Islands is one of the world's deadliest migration crossings. Attempted crossings typically pick up in the autumn, when sea conditions are generally calmer. Despite the current surge, total arrivals in the first ten months of 2026 were still down nearly 61 percent from the same period of 2024.
