🆘️ from 75 people in severe distress south of #Crete!
The group is panicking as water is entering their boat & they are adrift in high waves. @HCoastGuard said that they did not find them, even though we provided updated positions. We urge them to continue the search!

We alerted the @HCoastGuard already last night. They told us on the phone that they are searching for the boat. The group remains without food or water - we hope they will be found & rescued soon!

We alerted the @HCoastGuard when the group was still at sea. Meanwhile, they have reached Ikaria & ask for immediate medical assistance. Among them are 2 pregnant women, children & other vulnerable people. They need medical assistance now!
