Hundreds of migrants rescued off Canary Islands
At least 227 migrants were rescued off Spain's Canary Islands on Thursday, officials say, A Day after reported deaths of More Than 30 migrants there.
Emergency services say the Coast Guard The Migrants were travelling on inflatable boats near the Lanzarote and Gran Canaria islands in The Atlantic .
A Number of them were taken to hospital to be treated for a " mild condition".
On Wednesday, two charities Said More Than 30 migrants may have drowned after their dinghy sank off Gran Canaria .
Spanish authorities Said rescue workers found the bodies of a minor and A Man , and rescued 24 Other People .

Helena Maleno Garzon, from Walking Borders, Said 39 people had drowned, including Four Women and a baby, while Alarm Phone Said 35 people were missing.
Both organisations monitor migrant boats and receive calls from people on board or their relatives.
A Spanish rescue service ship, the Guardamar Caliope, was only about an hour's sail from the dinghy on Tuesday evening, according to Spanish news agency Efe.

The Bbc has sent a request for comment to Morocco's interior ministry.
Angel Victor Torres, leader of the Canary Islands region, described The Incident as a " tragedy" and called on the European Union to establish a migration policy that " offers coordinated and supportive responses" to the issue of migration.

Most of those making The Journey are from Morocco, Mali, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire and other parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, it says.
Last week, a migrant boat carrying hundreds of people sank off The Greek coast, with at least 78 known to have died, although many
The UN's Human Rights office says up to 500 people are Still Missing , and The Bbc has obtained evidence The coastguard claims that The Boat was on a course to Italy and not in need of rescue.
