Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 12th February 2022Case name: 2022_02_12-CM030
Situation: Around 200 travellers in distress in the Central Med, probably intercepted by the so-called Libyan coastguard.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Central Mediterranean
Summary of the case: On Saturday the 12th of February 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team received a direct call from a group of 200 travellers, including many women and children, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Libya on a rubber boat. We managed to get their GPS position, but due to bad connection it was not possible to obtain more information. However, we relayed all information we had to the relevant search and rescue authorities. We were never able to reach the travellers again, but believe they were intercepted by the so-called Libyan coastguard.
