Coast guards of the Royal Navy operating in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean provided assistance, from February 5 to 8, to 256 irregular migrants, most of whom are sub-Saharan.

The group of migrants includes 41 women and 5 children, who were in difficulty on board makeshift boats, according to a military source, quoted by MAP.

The migrants received first aid onboard Royal Navy units before being brought to the nearest ports of the Kingdom and then handed over to the Royal Gendarmerie for the usual administrative procedures, said the same source.
