Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Atlantic Ocean
Summary of the case: On Tuesday the 2nd of May 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 35 travelers, 26 men, eight women and one baby, in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The travelers had left from Dakhla on the 30th of April on a green wooden boat. We managed to reach the travelers who told us that they were drifting since the previous afternoon and that people onboard were sick. They gave us their GPS position, and we immediately relayed all the information we had to the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo. Soon after, we learned that the travelers had been picked up by the Moroccan navy and brought back.
