How did over 2,000 migrants reach the Canaries in just 48 hours?

Spain says nearly 2,200 migrants have arrived by boat to the Canary Islands this weekend. The strip of the Atlantic Ocean between West Africa and the Canary Islands is one of the world's deadliest migration routes – and the journey is usually made with ill-equipped dinghies and overcrowded boats. Details by FRANCE 24 correspondent in Madrid, Sarah Morris.
