Summary of the case: On Monday the 5th of February 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of around 100 travellers, including 15 women and 15 children, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Sabratha in the early hours of the morning on a blue wooden boat. We were not able to establish direct contact to the travellers, but received their GPS position from the relative. We then immediately alerted the relevant search and rescue authorities, relaying all the information we had. We later learned that the travellers had been rescued by the NGO search and rescue vessel Geo Barents.
