Summary of the case: On Saturday the 15th of April 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 28 travellers, all men, in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travellers had left from Al Hoceima at around midnight the same day on a grey rubber boat, and had almost been at sea for 24 hours. We were not able to reach the travellers but immediately alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo, relaying all the information we had. Shortly after midnight, we managed to reach the travellers but were unable to obtain their GPS position. Later in the morning, Salvamento Maritmo told us that the travellers had been rescued and brought to Malaga. The relative confirmed this information shortly after.
