Summary of the Case: On Wednesday the 22nd on June 2022, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 100 travellers, including 30 children, in distress in the Ionian Sea. The travellers had left from Turkey, but were already close to the Sicilian coast when we were alerted. We were not able to reach the travellers directly, but according to the relative they needed urgent assistance. We alerted the Italian coastguard, forwarding all the information we had. By staying in contact with the relative, we were able to update the coastguard with positions from the boat.
At 22.30 CEST the Italian coastguard confirmed to us that the travellers had been rescued and were in the port of Pozzalo.
