EL HIERRO, Spain (The Thursday Times) — Hafte ko Spain ke jazair-e-Canary ke sahil se record 1,488 tarkeen-e-watan ko bachaya gaya, jo ab tak ki aik din ki sab se barhi tadaad hai, kyunke maghribi Africa se aane wali lakri ki kashtiyan chhote jazeere El Hierro par pohanchti rahin.
Ibtidai aadad o shumar ke mutabiq 1,235 afraad ko le kar barah barhi kashtiyan El Hierro pohanchin. 203 afraad wali aik aur kashti ko Gran Canaria ke qareeb roka gaya, jabke 50 afraad ko le kar aane wali aik kashti Tenerife par utri. Yeh tadaad 7 November 2020 ko aane wale 1,461 afraad ke sabiqa record se zyada hai. Ibtidai aadad ke mutabiq hafte ko aane walon mein 108 khawateen aur 167 nabaligh shamil thay, aur reports ke mutabiq bachaye gaye zyada tar logon ka taluq Senegal, Gambia aur Guinea-Conakry se tha.
Jazair par be-panah dabao
Yeh silsila aadhi raat par nahin ruka. Jume ki raat gaye La Restinga ki bandargah pohanchne wali 122 afraad ki kashti ko mila kar do din mein 22 kashtiyon par taqriban 2,331 afraad pohanche, aur mazeed do rescue karwaiyan jari thin. Behri rescue ke chhe jahaz aur Civil Guard ki do gashti kashtiyan tainaat ki gayin.
Jazair-e-Canary ke sadr Fernando Clavijo ne kaha ke is mahine kashtiyon ke musalsal aane se jazair ke wasail mukammal taur par dab gaye hain. El Hierro ki jazeera council paanch hafton mein 8,000 se zyada afraad ke aane ke baad pehle hi samaji emergency ka elan kar chuki thi. Clavijo ne European Union ke commissioner baraye hijrat Magnus Brunner ko fori iqdam ke liye khat likha hai, aur kaha ke wazir-e-azam Pedro Sánchez ne hijrat par bain-ul-wazarti commission bulane ka wada kiya hai. Ilaqai policy ke wazir Ángel Víctor Torres ko itwar ko La Restinga ka daura karna tha.
Aik khatarnak raasta
Wazarat-e-dakhla ke aadad ke mutabiq October mein 6,194 afraad pohanche, jo 2023 ke baad is raaste par sab se masroof mahina tha, aur peshgoiyon ke mutabiq December tak, jab mausami halaat badalte hain, kami ka imkan nahin. Senegal, Gambia aur Mauritania se aane wala yeh samandari safar 1,000 kilometre se zyada taweel hai, aur International Organization for Migration ne 2026 ke pehle das mahine mein Atlantic ke is raaste par kam az kam 450 amwaat record ki hain.
European Union ka hijrat aur panah ka naya muahida 12 June se nafiz hai, lekin in aamad se lagta hai ke is ne ab tak Spain aane wale bahao ko sust karne mein kam hi madad ki hai.
