Place of Incident: Central Mediterranean
Summary of the case: On Tuesday the 25th of June 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted to a group of 44 travellers, including seven women and five children, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Zuwara, Libya, the previous night on a rubber boat. They told us that the weather conditions were bad and that a lot of 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. Later, we learned that the NGO vessel Life Support had rescued a boat matching the description we had been given.
