The coastguard services have been combing the coast close to Adra in search of any survivors using the Sasemar 101 plane and the ‘Guardamar Caliope’ patrol ship. Another 30 people have been rescued according to Civil Guard sources.

Among the 25 who are thought to have fallen into the water are a woman and two babies. The rest are all adult males.

29 of those rescued arrived in port in Motril, Granada, at 3,30am on Friday and two of them have been taken to the Santa Ana Hospital by the Red Cross for treatment for hypothermia.

The coastguard services were alerted to the presence of the boat by a series of phone calls from Morocco.
