Two new boats have been located this Friday near the coasts of Lanzarote. In the first one, which has been detected by the SIVE when it was close to Caletón Blanco, 20 people of Maghreb origin were traveling.
According to Salvamento Marítimo, which has come to their rescue, all are males and apparently were in good health.
After getting them on board the Salvamar boat, the immigrants have been transferred to the commercial dock of Arrecife.
The second boat, which has also been rescued by Salvamamento Marítimo, was further from the coast and its arrival in Arrecife was scheduled for around 2:30 p.m. About 30 immigrants of sub-Saharan origin are traveling on board.
With these, there are already 7 boats that have reached Lanzarote so far this week. Three did it this Thursday and the other two between Tuesday and Wednesday.
