Summary of the case: On Thursday the 7th of March 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted to a group of 29 travellers, including three women and two children, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers told us that their engine was no longer working and that water was entering their boat. We managed to get their GPS position, showing that they were very close to Lampedusa. We then immediately alerted the relevant search and rescue authorities, relaying all the information we had. Soon after, we learned that the travellers had been rescued and brought to Lampedusa.
