Summary of the case: On Thursday the 24th of February 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 53 travellers, including 15 women, in distress in the Atlantic Sea. The travellers had left from Laayoune at around midnight the same morning. We were not able to establish a direct contact to the boat or to get their exact GPS position, but relayed all the information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo. Later, we learned that the travellers had been rescued and brought to Fuerteventura. The relative confirmed that they had arrived safely.
