A Royal Navy patrol boat intercepted, approximately 157 km northwest of the city of Dakhla, a pirogue in difficulty with on board 196 Sub-Saharan would-be migrants, including a dead body, who intended to reach the Canary Islands.
The rescued people received first aid on board, before being taken safely back to the port of Dakhla and handed over to the Royal Gendarmerie for the usual administrative procedures, according to a statement by the General Staff of the Royal Armed Forces.
The dead body was transferred to the morgue of the Hassan II hospital in Dakhla by Civil Protection personnel, the same source added.
