Summary of the case: On Wednesday the 10th of July 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted to a group of 41 travellers, including six women and six children, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Tripoli and told us that they were drifting since seven hours, that they had no more food and drinking water left and that the children were sick. They gave us their GPS position and we immediately alerted the relevant search and rescue authorities, relaying all the information we had. Later, we learned that the travellers had been rescued to Lampedusa by the Italian coastguard.
