Madrid: A record number of undocumented migrants arrived in Spain by sea in 2024, the Spanish Interior Ministry said.

A total of 57,738 people arrived on the Spanish coast from January to December 15, 2024, which is 240 more than in 2018, the ministry said on Monday.

These people reached the country on 1,719 boats, the statement read, adding that 43,737 undocumented migrants landed in the Canary Islands.
