A total of 103 immigrants of Sub-Saharan and Maghrebi origin, including eleven women and at least four minors, arrived in Lanzarote this Wednesday night aboard two inflatable boats.
The first of them was rescued 22 kilometers from Arrecife by the Salvamar Al Nair, with 58 occupants of sub-Saharan origin, among whom there are eleven women (one of them pregnant), according to Maritime Rescue.
The group, which would have left from Tarfaya (Morocco), according to the alert received by 112 of the Canary Islands, has been attended to at the Commercial dock, in the capital of Lanzarote.
While that rescue was in progress, another inflatable boat arrived on its own to the beach of Las Caletas, reports the Emergency Consortium of the island.
On board were 45 Maghrebi men, four of them minors, already attended to on the coast by Red Cross volunteers.
