Salvamar intercepted a new boat near the coasts of Lanzarote in the early hours of this Tuesday. After being rescued, it has been transferred to the Commercial Dock of the capital.

According to the Emergency Consortium, there were 17 men of Maghrebi origin traveling in the boat, and all of them were "in apparent good health."

Once they arrived at the Commercial Dock, the immigrants were attended by Red Cross volunteers. 

With this, there are already three boats that have arrived in Lanzarote in less than 48 hours, totaling 97 immigrants.
