Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 1st May 2023Case name: 2023_05_01-WM024
Situation: 17 travelers in distress in the Western Med, fate unknown
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Western Mediterranean
Summary of the case: On Monday the 1st of May 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by relatives to a group of around 17 travelers, all men, in distress in the Western Mediterranean Sea. The travelers had left from Oran, Algeria, on the 26th of April in convoy with another boat. Neither the relatives nor we could establish contact to the boat. We alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo, relaying all the information we had. However, Salvamento Maritimo could not give us any information about search and rescue operation regarding a matching case. For several days we attempted to find out what had happened to the travelers, but in the end we had to close the case without knowing the fate of the people. We very much hope that they made it back to land by themselves.
