Summary of the case: On Sunday the 7th of May 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of around 20 travellers, all men, in distress in the Alboran Sea. The travellers had left from close to Al Hoceima in the early hours of the morning on a rubber boat. We were not able to establish direct contact to the travellers.

Later, we learned that the travellers had been intercepted by the Moroccan navy and brought back to Morocco.
