Overview
- Spanish rescue authorities recovered two small boats, moving all survivors to the Arguineguín quay for medical assessment.
- One vessel was intercepted about four miles south of Gran Canaria, with passengers in generally good condition and one hospital transfer reported.
- The second craft, a cayuco carrying 108 people, was rescued roughly 274 km southeast of El Hierro, where one person was found dead and another died during the operation.
- The merchant ships Sarah M and Eurostar first located the cayuco and provided water and some medicines until the rescue ship Guardamar Urania arrived.
- Survivors reported about a week at sea with two to three meter waves and strong winds, and one person was airlifted to Hospital Doctor Negrín as disembarkation faced weather delays.
