Summary of the Case:
In the morning of the 5th of April 2022, Alarm Phone received a call by a worried relative, alerting us to a group of 18 persons including children, in distress who had departed from Turkey. The caller related that the travellers were on their way to Rhodes Island when they became in distress. We tried to establish direct contact to the boat but did not succeed, so we immediately alerted the Greek and Turkish authorities at 09:39 CET. Later at 14:37 when we asked the Hellenic Coastguard, they refused to give any information, but at 17:45 the Turkish Coastguard relayed to us that they had rescued the boat of 18 persons.
