On Christmas Day, Spanish maritime rescue teams worked tirelessly to assist six migrant boats near the Canary Islands.

Rough seas complicated efforts, forcing one vessel to be towed instead of its passengers being transferred.

Over 324 migrants, including women and children, were rescued from various boats near Gran Canaria, Tenerife, and El Hierro.

Many of the migrants, originating from countries like Senegal and Mali, endured perilous journeys lasting days.

Emergency teams provided medical care, with one individual requiring hospitalization.

Authorities continue to monitor the area for additional vessels.
