Las Palmas (Spain) ∙ Authorities hospitalized 3 migrants who arrived in Spain’s Canary Islands following an 11-day sea voyage from Nigeria sitting on the rudder outside an oil tanker. They adventured 2700 nautical miles (regarding 5,000 km). One of the three is in critical condition.
The rudder is the part above the propeller that touches the water. The Spanish Coast Guard has released the picture of the three people here. As soon as they leave the hospital, they will be sent back to their homeland, the Spanish authorities said.
