Summary
Around midday October 6th Alarmphone was alerted to a group of around 30 people, stranded in the North of the Island Lesvos, run out of food and water. We were unable to establish direct contact until 18.00 CEST, when the person answering the phone informed us that all but four of the group had been found by authorities and transferred to a quarantine camp. We continually tried to establish contact to the people who remained lost in the mountains. At 07.08 CEST October 7th we received a call from one of the stranded people and relayed all information to authorities via e-mail and phone. We lost contact again throughout the morning. At 12.35 CEST we contacted authorities again, asking for news but did not receive an update on the situation. Upon calling one of the people previously taken to a quarantine camp in the North of the island it appeared that the four missing people had been found.
