Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations 7th February 2024Case name: 2024_02_07-CM035
Situation: Fate remains unknown for 12 travellers in distress on their way from Tunisia to Sardinia.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Central Mediterranean
Summary of the case: On Wednesday the 7th of February 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 12 travellers, all men, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Bizerte, Tunisia, in the night between the 5th and 6th of February, heading towards Sardinia. We were not able to establish direct contact to the travellers and did not know their GPS position. However, we immediately alerted the relevant search and rescue authorities, relaying all the information we had. We never managed to reach the travellers and could not get an answer from the authorities about whether the boat had been rescued. We were therefore later forced to close the case without knowing the fate of the travellers.
