A military source learned that a Royal Navy unit, charged with monitoring the coast, intercepted Friday evening a rubber boat carrying 54 irregular migration candidates from sub-Saharan Africa, including 15 women and 5 minors.

The same source explained that the necessary aid was provided to the rescued people before they were handed over to the Royal Gendarmerie in order to carry out the ongoing administrative procedures.

The boat was intercepted about 50 kilometers northwest of the southern city of Tan-Tan.
