Two new boats have been located in waters near Lanzarote during the morning of this Monday. In the two boats, around one hundred people would be traveling, including several children. 

The Emergency Coordination Center has reported the arrival of a boat with 49 people, including five women and one child. The precarious boat has been intercepted by the Salvamar Al Nair, and is estimated to arrive at Puerto Naos at 11.35 am this Monday.

With these, there would be six boats intercepted by Maritime Rescue. One of them capsized on Sunday night and there are seven people missing, a four-year-old child among them.
