Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 21st November 2021Case name: 2021_11_21-CM638
Situation: Around 60 travellers in distress in the Central Med, intercepted and returned to Libya.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Central Mediterranean
Summary of the case: On Sunday the 21st of November 2021, the Alarm Phone shift team received a direct call from a group of 60 travellers, including one woman and two children, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers told us that they had run out of food and drinkable water as well as fuel, and were therefore adrift. We managed to get their GPS position and alerted all relevant authorities to the distress situation. We lost contact to the travellers and only later learned that they had been intercepted and returned to Libya.
