Watch The Med Alarm Phone Investigations 9th June 2024Case name: 2024_06_09-CM162
Situation: 41 travellers in distress in the Central Med, fate unknown.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Central Mediterranean
Summary of the case: On Sunday the 9th of June 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 41 travellers, including five women and many minors, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Sfax, Tunisia, the previous evening on an iron boat. We were not able to reach 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. For days we had no news about the travellers and their relatives grew increasingly worried while authorities ignored our requests for information. We never found out what happened to the people onboard this boat.
