Morocco's state news agency MAP, citing a military source, said on Tuesday the kingdom's navy rescued 845 migrants and refugees, mostly from sub-Saharan Africa, between July 10 and Monday, around half of them in territorial waters off the country's south.Morocco in northwest Africa is a transit country for many asylum-seekers trying to get to Europe via Spain's mainland or its Canary Islands in the Atlantic.
Spain's coastguard was last week searching for three boats carrying about 300 migrants and refugees reported lost by Caminando Fronteras, a Spanish NGO that helps migrant vessels in distress.
