Migrants and refugees in Spain

On March 25, the body of a man was found on the beach of Los Muertos, in Carboneras. The man died after falling into the sea from a boat carrying at least 22 other people from North Africa.
On 18 March, the Spanish Council of Ministers approved a decree to amend the Immigration Law, aimed at distributing unaccompanied minors arriving in the Canary Islands to other regions. This measure, adopted after several months of negotiations, responds to the saturation of refugee centres in the Canary Islands, where more than 5,500 young are present.
During the weekend of March 15 and 16, seven bodies were found aboard a pirogue in the Atlantic Ocean. According to the Caminando Fronteras association, the boat had left Mauritania on March 7 for the Canary Islands. A total of 180 people were on board.
