On Jan 6, the MRCC of Salvamento Marítimo in Tenerife Center coordinated the escort of two cayucos to La Restinga and one more boat to Los Cristianos. The MRCC of Salvamento Marítimo in Las Palmas coordinated the response for two cayucos. The migrants were disembarked in the ports of Aguineguín and Arrecife. 350 migrants of sub-Saharan and Maghreb origin were aboard four boats, among them at least 51 women and 24 minors. Involved in the SAR operations were the 'Guardamar Urania', the 'Guardamar Talia', the 'Salvamar Alpheratz' and the 'Salvamar Acrux', which escorted a boat with 143 people of sub-Saharan origin on board, among them 74 men, 47 women and 22 minors, tothe port of La Restinga (El Hierro) after 9:30 p.m., after having been sighted by a fishing boat about 37 kilometers from the coast.. The SAR helicopter Helimer 202 evacuated a newborn child and his mother, who had given berth 20 minutes before the rescue, from the 'Guardamar Talia' and transported them to a hospital in Arrecife for further care. Rescuers knew there was a pregnant woman on board but were surprised to find a baby born with the mother on the floor of the boat, while the baby was being held by another person. The captain of the 'Guardamar Talía', Domingo Trujillo, had already experienced a similar situation in 2020, during the lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, when the 'Salvamar Mizar', aboard which he was the skipper, rescued the occupants of a boat in which a woman had also just given birth.
