Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Central Mediterranean
Summary of the case: On Friday the 11th of February 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team received a direct call from a group of around 80 travellers, including five children, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from around Zuwara on a wooden boat, and told us that they were out of food and drinking water and almost out of fuel. We managed to get their GPS position and immediately forwarded all the information we had to all relevant rescue authorities. We stayed in contact with the travellers and updated the authorities with their GPS position when possible. In the evening, we learned that the travellers had arrived to Lampedusa.
