Summary of the case: On Monday the 11th of March 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted to a group of around 50 travellers, including a woman, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. They had left from Libya on a grey wooden boat, and told us 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 relayed their updated positions to the authorities when possible. Later, we learned that the travellers had been rescued by the search and rescue NGO Life Support.
