Summary of the Case: On Sunday the 4th of August at 3.34am CEST, the Alarm Phone was alerted by a contact person to a group of 17 people, including four children, who had arrived to the Greek military island Farmakonisi. At 3.42am we reached the travellers who urged us to call for help. We immediately called the Greek coastguard, who confirmed that they would search for the people. At 4.37am the travellers informed us that they were with the Greek military on the island and were waiting to be transferred to another island in two hours. Afterwards we were no longer able to reach the group, but in the evening the contact person confirmed that all travellers were fine.
