A boat with 11 migrants on board arrived on the coast of Punta Prima on Wednesday night. It was met by the Red Cross emergency team and by Civil Guard agents. The Civil Guard transferred the occupants to the port of Alicante. Inside the small motorboat with an outboard motor, there were eight adult men, a pregnant woman and two minors aged 4 and 6.
The migrants travelling in the boat were not the only ones to arrive on Wednesday in the Valencian Community. Passengers on another boat had to be rescued at sea. In this case, they were saved close to Benidorm by Maritime Rescue from the vessel carrying 13 adult males who were all in good health.
This brings the total to 40 migrants in three boats in a single day in the waters of the province.
