Summary of the Case:
On the 24th of December Alarm Phone was contacted about people who stranded on Pori, a rocky islet in the Aegean, after surviving a shipwreck north of Antikythira. We could never establish contact to the people on the islet directly. When we called the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Piraeus at 11:25 CET, they told us 90 people were already rescued. Later they added, 11 drowned and according to them, no one is missing. A relative sent us a video of the
rescue operation. We mourn the death and promise to keep on fighting for a world in which everyone can migrate without danger to life.
