The injured people were rushed to different health centres nearby including University Hospital of the Canary Islands, the North Hospital and Hospiten Bellevue University Hospital.

It comes after Sunbathing holidaymakers were forced to run for safety when a giant wave suddenly wiped out their beach. Tourists on the Tenerife coast were forced to flee the sand after a huge surge of water came, knocking people off their feet as onlookers screamed when the wave hit. A video taken at the popular hotspot captured the moment the water smashed against the rocks and sent tourists running as they tried to avoid being dragged into the ocean. Coastal safety platform Canarias, 1500 KM de Costa say many accidents still stem from ignoring the red flag warnings. They uploaded the scary footage on Facebook , taken at Natural pools of Jover in La Laguna. They captioned the clip, taken last week: "Prevention, please." Authorities repeatedly warn people of the dangers of swimming in rough sea conditions. They released the video following a spike in drownings in the Canary Islands, with 48 people losing their lives between January and September this year. The Canary Islands Government has launched a major public awareness campaign following a concerning rise in deaths from drowning. Local officials have been urging people in the Canary Islands to take care near the sea this week because of the strong swell and heavy waves. Manuel Miranda, Regional Minister for Territorial Policy, said: “Last year, our coasts and swimming pools claimed more lives than our roads. We must restore respect for the sea. This campaign is vital to tackle the high number of fatal aquatic accidents we continue to see every year in the Canary Islands.”
