Summary of Case
On April 7th at 13:40h CET the Alarm Phone was alerted to a gray zodiac (rubber boat) with one engine carrying 63 people, among them 13 women and a baby that left from Laayoune at dawn. At 14:30h we managed to reach the travelers, however due to bad connection, we could not hear anything. After that we did not manage to reach the boat. At 19:37h we called the Spanish authorities (Salvamento Maritimo Las Palmas) and they informed us that the description of the boat fits with a boat rescued on that day. They could not give us more information since the travelers were at the police station. Shortly after friends
of the travelers also informed us that they have been rescued and corrected that they were 65 people, 10 women and a baby.
