Spanish Authorities Rescue 19 Moroccan Migrants, Including Toddler, off Cadiz Coast

The Guardia Civil would have warned last Thursday of the arrival of a boat on the Cortadura beach. The authorities therefore prepared to intercept it. And indeed, agents from the provincial police station of the National Police of Cadiz and San Fernando, as well as the Civil Guard and the local police of Cadiz, were waiting for them.

On board, they found 15 men, a woman, and three minors, including a 3-year-old child who had to be taken to the hospital. The others were taken to the San Fernando police station. They are all Moroccans.

According to EFE: "the migrants had their clothes wet and were suffering from hypothermia, and at least three of them were dizzy. One of the children, aged three and accompanied by his parents, was taken from the beach to the pediatric emergency department of the hospital".
