Taz: "Schrecklicheres verhindert"

“Die Initiative Watch the Med Alarmphone erhielt am Samstagmorgen den Notruf eines Schlauchbootes mit 150 Menschen, das am Vorabend nördlich des libyschen Al-Chums in See gestochen war. „Wir haben sie über 24 Stunden am Telefon begleiten müssen, bevor endlich Rettung kam“, sagt Hagen Kopp vom Alarmphone. Die vom Alarmphone informierte Rettungsleitstelle in Rom wies den Tiertransporter Lady Rasha und den Frachter AS Elenia vergeblich an, die Flüchtlinge an Bord zu nehmen.

Nur der vom Alarmphone veranlasste Einsatz eines privaten Suchflugzeugs machte das Schlauchboot ausfindig….”

⚫ Shipwreck in the Central Med. On 1 April at 11:50h, Alarm Phone alerted authorities to a boat with 75 people. When rescue arrived, 8 people had already died, 11 others died before reaching land. Some survivors are in critical condition. Another crime by the EU border regime!

⚫ Shipwrecks in at least 3 border regions of Europe, just today. Shipwrecks have led to the loss of many lives in the Aegean, the central Med & the Channel.

How much longer will we have to witness these EU border atrocities?

Our solidarity with all those who lost loved ones.

🆘 We were alerted by 47 people stranded on the #Didon oil platform, among them a pregnant woman. The weather is very bad, people's lives are at risk. They are afraid of interception and a forced return to #Libya. We have informed authorities and demand a rescue to a safe place!
