Mauritania rescues 179 migrants
Moroccan Coast Guard units succeeded in rescuing 179 illegal migrants off the coast of Nouadhibou, including women and children. They were on a boat coming from Senegal, most of them of Senegalese nationality, along with migrants from Gambia, Ghana, and Mali. This operation is part of a series of rescue efforts along the Mauritanian coast, which often involve saving migrants embarking from sub-Saharan Africa heading toward Europe, after some of them have spent long periods at sea. In a similar operation on Friday evening, 37 migrants were rescued from a sinking boat that had been at sea for 25 days.
