Summary of the case: On Sunday the 11th of August 2024, the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted to a group of around 50 travellers, including several women and children, in distress in the Central Mediterranean Sea. The travellers had left from Tripoli in the early hours of the morning on a blue rubber boat. We managed to get their GPS position and immediately alerted the relevant search and rescue authorities, relaying all the information we had. We stayed in contact with the travellers and passed on their updated positions to the authorities as often as possible. Later, we learned that the travellers had been assisted by the NGO vessel Nadir.
