Following accounts given by the survivors, why was a rescue operation not immediately started by the Turkish Coast Guard after it first arrived on scene at the GPS location?
We ask for that in order to respect the dignity of the victims/survivors but also to maintain dignity ourselves, so that we can create a community and society in which the privacy and dignity of all people are valued and respected.

Alarm Phone Press Release, 5th of August 2015 Distress at sea and endangered lives due to coastguard actions? Evidence shows attacks on migrant boats in the Aegean Sea where engines were removed and boats punctured by coastguards
Today, on 11 October 2026, Alarm Phone turns 12 years old.
Over this time, we have assisted more than 11.000 boats in distress at sea. We will not give up in our collective struggle against death at sea and the EU border regime. Freedom of movement for all!
We are in contact with a group fleeing from eastern Libya towards Sicily. They say they have run out of fuel and are drifting east of Malta now. Rescue and #SafePassages for all are needed now!
@HCoastGuard We have lost contact with the people in distress for over 30 hours but fear they are still at sea. We do not know of any rescue activity by either #Greece or #Egypt. Don't let these 37 people perish at sea! We call on the authorities to act without further delay!
