Summary On Wednesday the 20th of October 2021, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 51 travellers, 36 men, 12 women and three children, in distress in the Atlantic Sea. The travellers had left the previous night from Laayoune, heading towards the Canary Islands on a rubber boat.
