Illegal migration
Tuesday Jul 03 2007.

Coast guard services of Arzew (Oran) have rescued, yesterday at around 5:40 am, 5 illegal migrants in a shipwreck when trying to sail clandestinely on a boat to reach Spanish coasts; while searches are launched to find 4 others lost in sea.




A well informed source revealed that the migrants’ age is between 24 and 29, coming from Mascara, Mostaganem and Oran, adding that they begun their adventure on Monday night but their boat brake after 4 hours sailing, as it could not resist to rough waters.

Coast guards launched a wide search immediately after discovering the shipwreck managing thus to save 5 migrants “who could survive thanks to warm waters, otherwise they would all have been died.” After regaining consciousness, the survivors soon told Coasts Guards that they were 9.

Despite efforts deployed by the CGs, the 4 migrants still have not been found.
