A new skiff has reached this Friday the coast of Ibiza, specifically the area of Platja d’en Bossa, where the Civil Guard has located 22 immigrants of sub-Saharan origin.
The boat has landed near sa Sal Rossa around 08:50 hours. In the operation have intervened both agents of the Armed Institute and the Local Police.
According to the Government Delegation in the Balearic Islands, most of the immigrants were in apparent good health, although some showed signs of exhaustion and injuries resulting from the journey. Health personnel from 061 and the Red Cross immediately went to the scene to assess their condition and provide assistance.
Three transfers to the hospital
Among the 22 people rescued, three required urgent transfer to Can Misses Hospital due to their condition. A young woman in her early 20s has suffered severe dermabrasions on her back, legs and buttocks, presumably caused by rubbing against the vessel and exposure to fuel during the voyage.
In addition, another woman was admitted for severe abdominal pain, while a third migrant was treated for leg and buttock injuries.
All of them received initial medical assistance on the beach by an emergency team before being transferred to a medical center.
Increase in arrivals of small boats in the Balearic Islands
The arrival of small boats to the coasts of the Pitiusas has not ceased so far this year. Only this week, another boat with 19 immigrants was intercepted in Formentera, while the same day four more arrived in Mallorca.
According to UNHCR data, in 2024 at least 5,994 people reached the Balearic archipelago in an irregular way by patera. So far in 2025, 445 immigrants have already arrived in 21 boats, reflecting a trend that keeps the authorities on alert.
