A NGO on Thursday said something like 10,457 travelers passed on or vanished 
while attempting to arrive at Spain through ocean, 58% more than of 2023 
and the most since the association started keeping record in 2007.


The increment included 1,538 youngsters and 421 ladies, the gathering 
Caminando Fronteras or Strolling Boundaries expressed in a report 
covering the period from January 1 to December 5, 2024.


It adds up to a normal of 30 passings each day, up from around 18 of every 2023.


The gathering accumulates its information from hotlines set up 
for travelers on vessels in a difficult situation to call for help, 
groups of transients who disappeared and from true salvage measurements.
