Case name: 2022_08_01-Eastern Med - 953
Situation:
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Eastern Med
Summary of the Case:
In the morning of the 1st of August Alarm Phone received pictures from people on a boat and their location (North of Samos) from a worried relative. We never managed to establish direct contact to the people on the boat.
At 13:41 CEST we called the Turkish Coast Guard in Ankara, who told us they rescued a boat in the area of north of Samos Island this morning. Later they told us it was 56 people rescued from 3 life rafts, which indicates a pushback had taken place. As we couldn't reach the people on the boat we could never confirm if the information of the Turkish Coast Guard matches the distress call Alarm Phone received.
