Summary of the case: On Wednesday the 26th of April 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted to a group of 52 travellers, including one child, in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The travellers had left from Boujdour the previous evening on a grey rubber boat, heading towards Fuerteventura. We reached the boat, but communication was difficult due to poor reception. However, we alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo, relaying all the information we had. Shortly before midnight we learned that the boat had been rescued by Salvamento Maritimo and brought to Fuerteventura.
