Dozens of Moroccan families have spent weeks in anguish after losing contact with a migrant boat that left the coast of Boujdour on October 16 bound for Spain’s Canary Islands, carrying 47 people including a woman and a child.
In a public appeal shared with local media and rights groups, relatives said all communication with the inflatable boat ceased shortly after departure, and no official information has been released.
“My son Ayman, 17, left between Boujdour and Dakhla that day, and since then we know nothing,” said Fatima Mriziq, mother of one of the missing.
Families said they had received unconfirmed reports suggesting survivors were rescued after nine days at sea and transferred to hospitals and security centers, but no authority has verified those claims.
They called on Moroccan and Spanish officials to launch an urgent investigation, clarify the migrants’ fate, and allow contact with their relatives.
