Once it starts. Marine Rescue today intercepted 42 illegal immigrants, including five women and two children, about 12 miles from the isla de Alborán.
Marine Rescue began a search for the vessel after receiving notification from Morocco that a boat was on its way.
The immigrants, all sub-saharans, were taken to the port of Motril where the Red Cross was on hand to offer assistance.
All the passengers were in good health.
