Del total de personas que arribaron en la patera, todos varones y, según dijeron, con origen en Sidi Ifni (Marruecos), 19 son menores.

Una patera con 22 ocupantes de origen magrebí arribó durante la mañana de ayer a la zona de Órzola, dentro del término municipal de Haría (Lanzarote), según informó a Europa Press el Centro Coordinador de Emergencias y Seguridad (Cecoes) 112.

Fue la Guardia Civil, a través del SIVE, la que alertó sobre las 11:00 horas de la llegada de una embarcación con una veintena de varones, por lo que se movilizó al Servicio de Urgencias Canario (SUC) y a Cruz Roja, que atendieron a los inmigrantes. Hasta el lugar acudieron también miembros de la Policía Local de Haría y de la Policía Nacional, que colaboraron con el dispositivo desplegado.

Coast Guard Fired at Migrant Boats, European Border Agency Documents Show

Zach Campbell

coast-guard

ON A SMUGGLER’S BOAT from Turkey two years ago, 19-year-old Rawan watched the passengers start to panic as a Greek coast guard vessel approached them head on, circling twice. Rawan heard two gunshots ring out from the Greek patrol. Fearing arrest, the driver of Rawan’s boat, a Turkish fisherman, turned the vehicle around to flee back to Turkey. Then Rawan heard more shots.

When the bullet hit her in the lower back, at first she felt nothing. Then, Rawan says, it felt like fire.

Rawan’s husband had made it to Germany a year earlier; both were fleeing their home in Damascus, Syria. Rawan and 12 other Syrians were headed for the Greek island of Chios on a small fiberglass boat, much faster than the inflatable dinghies that many refugees use for the 5-mile crossing.

Number of drownings in the Mediterranean in 2016 now expected to easily surpass last year’s record figure of 3,771

A record number of migrants is expected to drown in the Mediterranean in 2016, after the estimated death toll in this week’s latest shipwreck rose to about 300 on Friday.

Egyptian officials have rescued about 160 survivors from Wednesday’s shipwreck off the country’s north coast, leaving about 150 people still unaccounted for, according to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).

Those confirmed dead include 10 women and a baby, taking the estimated number of migrants to die in the Mediterranean so far this year to more than 3,500. At the current rate, the death toll for 2016 is expected to easily surpass the figure for 2015 of 3,771, which was the highest ever recorded. By this stage in 2015, 2,887 people had drowned.

Survivors from a boat which capsized off the Egyptian coast on Wednesday have told the BBC that hundreds of people may have drowned.

The boat was carrying between 450 and 600 migrants when it capsized eight miles (12km) off the coast, they say. The numbers have not been confirmed.

Authorities say they have rescued 163 people and recovered 51 bodies so far off the port city of Rosetta.

Four crew members have been arrested, Egyptian officials said.

They are suspected of involuntary manslaughter and human trafficking, judicial officials were reported as saying.

The incident came after the EU’s border agency warned that increasing numbers of Europe-bound migrants are using Egypt as a departure point.
