A new boat, the fourth of the day, has been rescued at sea this Thursday, April 27, as reported by the Emergency Coordination Center.

Apparently the boat has been spotted by the fishing boat "Isla de Nube", when it was sailing northwest of Lanzarote.

About 50 people of Maghreb origin could be traveling in the boat and are in apparent good health. Once rescued, they have been transferred to the Arrecife Commercial pier where they have been attended by the Red Cross.
