Situation: 50 travellers in distress in the Central Med, intercepted by the so-called Libyan coastguard.
Status of WTM Investigation: Concluded
Place of Incident: Central Mediterranean
Summary of the case: On Tuesday the 25th of June 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 50 travellers, including seven women and six children, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Sabratha, Libya, on a wooden boat in the early hours of the morning. We were not able to establish direct contact to the travellers and did not know their exact GPS position. However, we immediately alerted the relevant search and rescue authorities, relaying all the information we had. Later, we learned from the relative that the travellers had been intercepted by the so-called Libyan coastguard.
