Situation: 90 travellers in distress in the Central Med, probably intercepted by the so-called Libyan coastguard.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Central Mediterranean
Summary of the case: On Saturday the 23rd of March 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted to a group of around 90 travellers in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left two days earlier from Al Zawiya on a blue and white wooden boat. According to the travellers they were low on petrol. We managed to get their GPS position and immediately alerted the relevant search and rescue authorities, relaying all the information we had. We then lost contact to the travellers. We later learned that a boat matching the description we had received had been intercepted to Libya.
