Coast guards of the Royal Navy intercepted, Wednesday close to the coast of the fishing village “Roc Chico” in the south of the Kingdom, almost 200 km southwest of the city of Dakhla, two boats with 234 Senegalese would-be illegal immigrants on board, including 3 women and 2 minors in addition to a dead body, according to a military source.
The two boats set sail on September 25 and 27, 2023, respectively from the coasts of Dakar and Diogo in Senegal, bound for the Canary Islands, the same source said.
The rescued people received the necessary care before being handed over to the Royal Gendarmerie for the usual administrative procedures, the same source pointed out, adding that the dead body was handed over to civil protection to transfer it to the Morgue of the Hassan II Hospital in Dakhla.
