The boat which carried the “harragas” has departed from an isolated area in the city of Mostaghanem province, a delegate for the local government in Murcia said.
He further specified that a pregnant woman and a 16 year-old boy were also onboard.
The source further mentioned that one of the illegal migrants with a broken foot has been evacuated to hospital to receive treatment. He added that several other harragas suffered dehydration symptoms after being exposed to the sun for long time along their journey. They have received treatment by the Spanish Red Cross, before being transferred to a transit centre for illegal migrants, pending extradition home.
