Summary: On Friday the 17th of September 2021, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 51 travellers, including 12 women and three children, in distress in the Atlantic Sea. The travellers had left from around Guelmim the previous morning on a rubber boat. We were not able to reach the travellers, but relayed all the information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo.
