Summary of the case: On Monday the 1st of May 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 23 travelers, all men, in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travelers had left from Al Hoceima on the 30th of April around noon on a grey rubber boat. We were not able to establish direct contact to the boat, but immediately alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo, relaying all the information we had.
Later, we learned from the relative that the travelers had been intercepted by the Moroccan navy and brought back to Morocco.
