Four people including two Brits have reportedly been rescued from a stricken boat after being stranded at sea for four days.
The men were said to be suffering from dehydration when they were winched to safety by helicopter around 60 miles north of Tenerife.
They made a Mayday call after seeing they were starting to take on water.
A Panamanian-flagged vessel named locally as Green Power is said to have responded by heading to the area they were in along with a Civil Guard vessel.
The four were taken to Tenerife South airport and are then thought to have been taken to a nearby hospital so they could be seen by medics.
In August a newborn was rescued after being stranded on a Greek island without water for three days.
Human traffickers abandoned a group of refugees on the shores of the Aegean Sea – including pregnant women and babies – without food or water.
The baby boy, said to be aged just 50 days old, was among the dozens who became trapped in a mountainous area.
As their recourses ran low, his parents were forced to use seawater to make his milk.
After three days, authorities finally rescued the baby, while others were taken away from the area by helicopter.
