Two migrants died off Canary Islands

Two migrants died and another four went missing off the Canary Islands early on Saturday as Spanish rescuers came across a boat in trouble while returning from an earlier rescue, the coastguard said.

After a long night at sea in bad weather, a Salvamento Maritimo lifeboat returned to Arguineguin port in Gran Canaria just after sunrise carrying 81 survivors and one body, while its rescue helicopter brought back another body.

By mid-November, 18,021 people had reached the Canary Islands by boat this year, 10% higher than the same period last year.
