51 Moroccan migrants are missing in the Atlantic Ocean after boarding a refugee boat bound for Europe. On the evening of June 11, people wanted to leave the Moroccan coastal city of Agadir for the Canary Islands.
Refugees in Africa always try to get to Spain via Morocco. Because the weather has been nice in recent days, many people have left in boats for the Canary Islands. Since the evening of June 11, 51 of them are missing. The news site The Hespress published messages from relatives of the migrants.
The Moroccan Human Rights Organization (AMHD) on Thursday called for “immediate investigation” and urged the authorities to take action against “human trafficking and illegal refugee networks”.
51 migrants almost died
An activist from the Spanish non-governmental organization Caminando Fronteras reported on Twitter on June 11 that 58 people, including 21 women and a baby, almost died in a boat accident on the way to Las Palmas (capital of Gran Canaria, ed.). However, it is still unclear whether these are the refugees who are now reported missing.
At least two people were killed on Wednesday when their boat sank about 160 kilometers off the coast of Gran Canaria.
