The coastguards of the Royal Navy rescued, on Wednesday off the city of Nador, 50 sub-Saharan would-be migrants, a military source said on Thursday.
The rescued people were stranded on a very dilapidated makeshift boat, the same source added, noting that the corpses of four people, two women and two babies, were on board.
The would-be-migrants received the necessary care on the Royal Navy Unites, before being brought back to the port of Nador and handed over to the Gendarmerie Royale for the usual procedures.
