A small boat arrived in Órzola in the early morning without being detected, and by Thursday morning, 18 occupants of the boat had been located, including a woman and three minors, including a baby, according to the Emergency Consortium.
The Civil Guard agents are maintaining a search operation in the area to locate more migrants. As for the 18 found, they have been assisted by Red Cross personnel, with none having to be transferred to a health center. The minors, aged 6 months, 6 and 17 years, have been transferred by the NGO to the Aula de la Naturaleza in Máguez.
According to the immigrants, there were 22 people on board and they had been sailing for five days. Apparently, they left from Safi, in Morocco.
