We have reason to believe that the people were rescued by a merchant vessel. The place of disembarkation is still unclear. We urge the authorities of #Malta and #Italy to allow disembarkation. Act now, a safe place is needed!
🆘 in the central Med! We were informed about a boat with ~100 people on board who left #Zuwarah in the evening of 18 Dec. Unfortunately, their fate remains unknown so far and authorities do not share any information. Together with their families we are very worried about them!
🆘 Au large de la Tunisie ! 40 personnes à bord d'un bateau en détresse ne peuvent plus avancer en raison de problèmes de moteur. Ils ne sont qu'à quelques kilomètres des côtes, mais ont besoin d'être secourus de toute urgence. Nous espérons que les autorités agiront rapidement !
