Situation: 25 travellers in distress in the Central Med, arrived to Lampedusa.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Central Mediterranean
Summary of the case: On Sunday the 3rd of March 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted to a group of around 25 travellers, all men including some minors, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from between Sabratha and Zuwara two days earlier on a blue wooden boat. They told us that the weather conditions were bad and that water was entering their boat. We managed to get their GPS position and immediately alerted the relevant search and rescue authorities, relaying all the information we had. We stayed in contact with the travellers and passed on their updated positions to the authorities as often as possible. We later learned that the travellers had arrived to Lampedusa.
