Human Rights Groups say people are being kept in dire conditions when they arrive, while local Officials Say they are simply overwhelmed by the situation. The journey by sea to the Spanish Islands is arguably europes most treacherous for migrants. Choice has been to gran canaria to see what awaits them. From here, journalists can go no further.

For months, the trend of increasing migration numbers has been visible here on the Canary Islands. Nevertheless, everyone involved seems overwhelmed by the current situation.

Many fear that this housing was philip before long of a more this story can all speak to some of the rooty from the International Organization for migration. He joins us from madrid. Mr. Over already, why is it that so many african migrants are now heading for the Canary Islands instead of the european mainland . Well, then step forward is interview. Actually, as you know, migration is a complex phenomenon and so were beginning to see dead. There are a lot of the factors at play in the region, especially in central and western africa. There are, of course, so this issue of going to be factors that are used to push migrants to, to look for a better day. There obviously also observed this taboos, and the established snubbing goops, they have to have basically reactivated a normal existing woods towards their going to riyadh. And there is also, of course, there are the covered 19, the of brick, which have actually basically induced the Border Closure of the restriction movement. And there may have to migrants to hold these routes instead of the i would say more traditional with their traditional who would be there with the military. And one that just gives you good to speed could assist this. This have been anticipated by the authorities. So shouldnt they have been better prepared . Well actually did the or where of the band was a surprise for everybody. And we not is to actually scenes. I think, 2 years there was a slight increase of a radicals birth defect that there snowden, who show a real capacity to adapt to the challenges imposed by the girl with 19 the restriction of movement of the Border Closures. And you know, since the fact they dont have any scruple to push my guns in a very dangerous foods, earth, these rebels have increasing scenes the month of february, births, scenes, july, august, observed a significant increase. What do you expect now from the Spanish Government, from e. U. Leaders actually . Well, the things that spain has a, i would say, the more there are standing experience and downs of migration an edge. And again, just we call the experience here 2 years ago in 2018 when almost 60000 migrants arrive in this thing is that in an area around, they just dont have the suitable capacity and facilities to in order to properly manage doing those are my vision flows in order to apply what is foreseen, whos in the know, what should they do . How is the interruption, what, what, what, what should the Spanish Government actually do now . Yet, so the set of measure there has been decided we could go the most important to our opinion is just to establish a space for the creation of migrants. Just to ensure that all the proceeds would be applied and demented with the established amount of said it is me, 72 hours. So they have the needs of screening of the never t. Assessment of prediction petition needs. These have to be very shortly because the situation is very critical. We cannot accept the fact that those persons are the conditions there are just and you can find some other o. T. From the International Organization for migration.

Emily sherman is in the armenian capital year van, she just returned from the goal a car backed. Heres what she had to say about the situation on the ground that things are peaceful now in nagornokarabakh, but there are traces of the recent war. Everywhere you look as we were driving through the region, we saw burnt out cars along the roadside. We saw cars that had been thrown off the road by bomb blasts. We even saw a rocket that was literally sticking out of the road. And people were kind of driving around it. And the same can be said of the cities and towns in nagornokarabakh, where windows were blown out by the blasts. And you can see where the bombs hit as people try to rebuild people also in many areas have been leaving their houses. Areas that have been under armenian control, but now are being handed over to control. People have been burning their houses so that they dont leave anything behind for us or by john. The main emotion on the ground. As well as here in yerevan is and also a real sense of betrayal by Prime Minister nicole. People say, and have been saying to us that he sold off part of our land and that cannot be forgiven. Now, so far. Doesnt seem to want to resign, even though the calls for him to resign. Have been very loud. There have been protests almost every day here and you are of on. And armenias president has also called for cabinet to resign and for new elections. So far pushing on himself has only said that hes willing to reshuffle his cabinet. Hes been trying to explain why he signed the recent peace deal to the people.
