Summary of the case: On Wednesday the 22nd of March 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 21 travellers in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travellers had left from Al Hoceima on a rubber boat the previous evening, heading towards Motril. We were not able to establish direct contact to the travellers. However, we immediately alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo, relaying all the information we had. In the evening, we learned from the relative that the boat in question had been intercepted by the Moroccan navy, and that the travellers were now with the Moroccan police. According to the relative, they were all in good health.
