Summary of the case: On Thursday the 23rd of February 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 54 travellers, 33 men, 18 women, some pregnant, and three children, in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The travellers had left from Tan Tan on the 19th of February on a rubber boat. We were not able to establish direct contact to the travellers but immediately alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo to the distress situation, relaying all the information we had. Soon after, Salvamento Maritimo told us that the boat in question had been intercepted by the Moroccan navy.
