A new crisis is emerging on Spains Canary islands where just last month, more than 8000 africans arrived by boat hoping to get to europe. Human Rights Groups say people are being kept in dire conditions when they arrive, while local Officials Say theyre simply overwhelmed by the situation. The journey by sea to the Spanish Islands is arguably europes most treacherous for migrants. Scholtz has been to see what awaits those making. The crossing things from here, journalists can go no further. Some 2000 african migrants are being housed in this camp in the ports of 5 times as many as were expected. Aid groups have spoken of squalid conditions, but its impossible for news to find out the work for the refugee council. His colleagues have been inside the camp. Everyone seems on the floor in tents and some out in the open. Weeping criticizing this from day one, we didnt think it would get this bad. There are 2000 to 300 people in the camp, and the numbers are growing every day. 2000 migrants arrived in the Canary Islands. Last weekend alone. The crossing is dangerous, but the coronavirus pandemic has cut off other migration routes. The government has started housing new arrivals in hotels near the camp. Human rights activists say theyre not getting a fair shot at the asylum system. A group of migrants from senegal, say they fear theyll soon be deported. But journalists are not welcome here either. Being used is told to leave in mid conversation. May not be of when it was angry at the Spanish Government, but also feels abandoned by the european union. I dont know how it got to money. Im disappointed with spain and with europe. This is shameful. What a lot of politicians and representatives have come here recently. But we have no clue what the governments strategy is. To deal with the migration crises here on the canaries. Got me got the idea. Spains government refuses to relocate the migrants to the mainland. Critics say this is 10 the islands into a prison for months, the trends of increasing migration numbers has been visible here on the Canary Islands. Nevertheless, everyone involved seems overwhelmed by the current situation. Valuable preparation time has been lost. Instead, the islands government, the Central Government and the european union, starting to shift responsibility for the situation to one another. The Spanish Government has now started to procure further accommodation for the migrants. Many fear that this housing with philip before long and young, Philip Schultz who filed that report, joins us now from gran canaria. Philip. Why is it that so many african migrants are now heading for the Canary Islands instead of the european mainland . I think there is not one single reason, but its a mix. Shake 1st of all a lot of africans are deciding to migrate at the moment. Corona virus crisis has had demonstrating effect on the economies, and there has been, have been a lot of new privilege, a crisis on the continent evolving, especially in this region. At the same time, due to the pandemic, a lot of traditional migration drugs have been blocked and also spain signs of migration, with my record. And thats yet to do. It says that moroccan authorities should keep migrants as far away as possible from the northern shores of the country, which im very close to the spanish mainland. But this has had very paradoxical thanks because the migrants are not giving up. Thats simply starting to see crossing drive out south and arriving on the island. Why sorties on the Canary Islands, better prepared to deal with the situation. Did they not see it coming . Thats a very good question. I was on the neighboring island for what ive been to what i 2 months ago, because the rising migration numbers were already very visible, but local authorities still seemed quite relaxed. Bank men. And i think the main reason for that is that my great migration crisis is not the only crisis on the Canary Islands at the moment. Its a very popular tourist destination. And because of the pandemic, and there have been many problems for the local tourism industry, and the government has been very busy dealing with the devastating impact of the coronavirus crisis. How are the average People Living in the Canary Islands, the residents there . How are they coping with the situation . Well, its not the 1st migration crisis on the Canary Islands. And traditionally, people here are known to be very welcoming. But i have been feeling that this time the situation is a little bit more tense. There have been a lot of local protests and yes, but i, i could witness a lot of crimpers nations, the residents complaining that the migrants they get so much attention, so much Media Attention and why their own problems are ignored. I think this is also due to the endemic, of course, a lot of people lost their jobs. They are and they dont know how to keep their families. And so this is said double crisis here on the island at the moment now and philip, thank you very much for your reporting.
