Malino warned, "Due to a lack of rescue methods and cooperation among countries, border fatalities have occurred repeatedly." On June 21st, a cruise ship accident caused at least 37 deaths due to a lack of coordination between Spain and Morocco in rescue efforts. Just a few days ago, a pregnant woman also died on her way to the Canary Islands, and her body was discovered by fishermen.
According to the organization's data, in the past five years, 11286 immigrants have died at the Spanish border while attempting to reach Europe.
