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 48 travellers in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Benghazi, Libya, on a fiberglass boat. According to the relative they had run out of fuel and were facing high waves. The relative gave us their GPS position and we immediately alerted the relevant search and rescue authorities, relaying all the information we had. In addition to this, we also reached out to nearby merchant vessels, asking them to assist the travellers. Later, we learned that the travellers had been rescued and brought to Italy.
