A tragic event has shaken the west coast of Tenerife, one of the Canary Islands: a powerful wave swept four individuals into the ocean, resulting in their deaths. Additionally, one person remains unaccounted for. Initially, authorities confirmed three fatalities, but the situation has escalated.

The incident occurred just after 4 PM at one of the popular natural pools in Los Gigantes, part of the Santiago del Teide municipality. At that time, many visitors were enjoying the area, both on the rocks and in the water, when a massive wave surged forth, pulling them into the depths.

Emergency services from the Canary Islands have reported that several people were caught in the torrent. Among those affected were reportedly foreign tourists, according to Diario de Avisos. A rescue helicopter managed to retrieve one individual alive, while another was brought ashore but sadly pronounced dead.

Initially, officials confirmed the deaths of two men and one woman—a 35-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman were among them. Tragically, a second woman was revived and flown to the hospital but later succumbed to her injuries.
