Africans risked a perilous crossing to reach Spain.
Four Africans have been found dead in a small open boat packed with migrants, intercepted off the Canary Islands.
The Spanish authorities said the boat, carrying 26 other migrants, was escorted to a port on Tenerife.
Boats carrying almost 300 people have been intercepted off the Canary Islands in the past 24 hours, officials say.
The Spanish government says more than 11,000 Africans have made the perilous crossing to the Canaries this year – already double the total for 2005. |
