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.

Rescued! Two of many boats that alerted us today when in distress were found and rescued by the crew of @SosMedIntl in the central #Mediterranean. We are very relieved that these groups are safe!
🆘 from ~37 people in distress south of #Crete, #Greece
We are in contact with the group, who report they have no fuel left and water is in the boat. We have alerted the respective authorities and urge @HCoastguard to rescue the people now to a safe place in Europe!
