Maritime Rescue has rescued this Wednesday the 51 North African occupants of a boat when it was about seven miles from Roque del Este, an islet located north of Lanzarote.

According to the state agency, the Guardamar Polimnia went to the place and intercepted the migrants around 9:30 a.m. (local time) to proceed with their transfer to the La Cebolla Dock, in Arrecife.

There the usual health device in these cases made up of the Red Cross and the Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC) was waiting, which assisted the migrants, all in apparent good health.
