Migrantstrømmen, som i stadig større grad har fundet vejen til Spanien, viser ingen tegn til at aftage. Siden fredag er omkring et tusind migranter blevet samlet op i Middelhavet og taget med til Spanien, skriver El País.

In the last 48 hours, 729 people were rescued off the southern coast of Spain. Since Friday, 1,000 migrants were saved near Spanish shores.

18,016 people have arrived in Spain since the beginning of the year

On Sunday, Maritime Rescue ships helped save 447 people from 24 rickety boats: 190 in the westernmost part of the Mediterranean, known as the Alborán Sea, and 257 more in the Strait of Gibraltar.

Som man selv kan regne ud, er der fremdeles en overvægt af voksne mænd:

On Saturday, 329 people were rescued from 22 small boats, including two pregnant women. Over 20 of the migrants were minors.

Spanien ser med andre ord ud til at overtage den rolle, som Italien i nogle år har haft som indgangsport til Europa – indtil den nye italienske regering iværksatte en klart strammere migrationspolitik.
