Summary of the case: On Tuesday the 18th of June 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 50 travellers in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Zuwara, Libya, at around midnight in a white rubber boat. We managed to get their GPS position and immediately alerted the relevant search and rescue authorities, relaying all the information we had.
