An unidentified young migrant who died during the dangerous Atlantic crossing from West Africa to the Canary Islands was buried at El Pinar cemetery in El Hierro on November 10.

The young man arrived dead on November 5 aboard a wooden migrant pirogue carrying around 280 people.

He was buried in an unmarked grave identified only by a reference number, alongside other victims of the Atlantic migration route. Local officials, NGO representatives and residents attended the funeral.

El Hierro has struggled to identify migrants who die during the crossing. Many are buried without their names being established, leaving families uncertain about their fate.

The island has become one of Spain's main migrant arrival hotspots, with growing numbers of people making the dangerous Atlantic crossing from West Africa.

Spain has declared a migration emergency in the Canary Islands after a sharp increase in Atlantic crossings placed exceptional demands on the small island of El Hierro.
