A combat unit of the Royal Navy on patrol off the coast of Laayoune rescued, on Thursday, a stranded inflatable boat with 43 would-be immigrants of Sub-Saharan origin and two corpses onboard, a military source said.

The rescued people, all in a very deteriorated state of health, were brought back safe and sound to the port of Laayoune after receiving the necessary care on board the Royal Navy unit. Then, they were handed over to the Gendarmerie Royale for the usual procedures, according to the same source.

The two bodies were taken to the morgue of Laayoune.
