Summary of the case: On Thursday the 27th of June 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted by a relative to a group of 38 travellers, including eight women and two babies, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Libya the previous evening on a black rubber boat. We received their GPS position from the relative and immediately alerted the relevant search and rescue authorities, relaying all the information we had.
