🆘 52 people in grave distress!

We informed authorities in #Italy and #Malta about a boat in severe weather conditions in the Central Mediterranean. Extreme wind makes it impossible to communicate with them, so we do not know their position. They are repeatedly calling for help!

🆘 26 people in distress in the Central Med: We are in contact with a boat in the #Maltese search and rescue zone. The people report water is entering their boat. They urgently need rescue and, at the same time, fear an interception to #Libya. Rescue now, no interception!

🆘 Boat on distress close to #Sfax, #Tunisia! 49 people incl. 3 children are on board. They say that their boat is sinking. We have tried to contact the Tunisian authorities but they fail to respond and to cooperate. We call on them to rescue the people before it is too late!
