Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations – 30th of May 2023Case name: 2023_05_30-ATL028
Situation: Around 50 travellers in distress in the Atlantic Ocean, their fate remains unknown.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Atlantic Ocean
Summary of the case: On Tuesday the 30th of May 2023, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of around 50 travellers, including at least one child, in distress in the Atlantic Ocean. The travellers had left from Laayoune in the night between the 28th and 29th of May. We were never able to establish direct contact to the travellers, but immediately alerted the Spanish search and rescue organisation Salvamento Maritimo, relaying all the information we had.
We were not able to find out what happened to the travellers. We very much hope that they were rescued and brought to safety.
