Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 30th of July 2019Case name: 2019_07_30-AEG551
Situation: 24 travellers stranded on Farmakonisi rescued and brought to Leros
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Aegean Sea
Summary of the Case: On Tuesday the 30th of July at 3.04am CEST, the Alarm Phone was alerted by a contact person to a group of 25 travellers stranded on the Greek military island Farmakonisi. We immediately reach the travellers, but due to technical issues it was not possible to communicate. At 4.00am we called the Greek coast guard, and half an hour later we managed to speak to the travellers who informed us that they had been taken by the military to facilities on Farmakonisi. After this it was no longer possible to reach the travellers, and only in the evening did we learn from the contact person that the travellers were all safe and had been taken to Leros.
