移民船抵達西班牙耶羅島後，兩名男子死亡、一名嬰兒命危

馬德里，10月30日（路透社）——西班牙救難單位表示，一艘從甘比亞出發的移民船於週五清晨抵達西班牙加那利群島後，船上發現兩名男子死亡；另有一名嬰兒情況危急，已由空中轉送醫院。MADRID, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Two men were found dead aboard a migrant boat that reached Spain's Canary Islands early on Friday after departing from Gambia, and a baby was airlifted to hospital in a critical condition, Spanish rescue services said.

這艘船載有113人。緊急救援單位於週四深夜接獲求救電話後，在小島耶羅島以南約37海浬處發現該船。救難人員將110名生還者帶上岸，其中包括8名女性和8名未成年人。The vessel, carrying 113 people, was located about 37 nautical miles south of the tiny island of El Hierro after emergency services received distress calls late on Thursday. Rescuers brought 110 survivors ashore, including eight women and eight minors.

從西非橫渡大西洋前往加那利群島，是全球最致命的移民渡海路線之一。每年都有數以千計移民搭乘擁擠船隻試圖完成這段旅程，即使必須面對洶湧海象、強勁海流和漫長航程，仍希望抵達西班牙領土。The Atlantic route from West Africa to the Canary Islands is one of the world's deadliest migration crossings. Thousands of migrants attempt the journey each year in overcrowded boats, seeking to reach Spanish territory despite rough seas, strong currents and long distances.

移民抵達人數通常會在秋季月份增加，因為這段路線的海況一般較為平穩，也較適合橫渡。Arrivals typically pick up in the autumn months, when sea conditions along the route are generally calmer and more favourable for crossings.

今年迄今的移民抵達人數雖較2025年下降，但本月渡海人數大幅增加，使加那利群島部分島嶼的接待與緊急救援服務承受額外壓力，尤其是面積較小、人口較少的島嶼。Migrant arrivals have declined so far this year compared with 2025, but crossings increased sharply this month, putting additional pressure on reception and emergency services on some of the Canary Islands, particularly the smaller and less populated ones.

根據西班牙政府駐加那利群島代表辦公室，群島今年迄今的移民抵達人數年減18%，至11,527人。Migrant arrivals in the archipelago fell 18% year-on-year to 11,527 people to date, according to the office of the Spanish government's representative in the Canary Islands.
