Two pirogues carrying a total of 307 candidates for irregular emigration, including Senegalese, were rescued Saturday evening, around 7:30 p.m., 12 nautical miles from the island of El Hierro, in the Canary Islands archipelago (Spain).
According to the information gathered, the first boat was carrying 193 people, while the second had 114 passengers. In total, the two boats, coming from The Gambia, were carrying 307 migrants from Africa, including women and minors.

Upon arrival, they were met by Red Cross teams. The good news: all the passengers appeared to be in good health. None of them required evacuation to a hospital.
