ARD: "Man kann von Mord reden"

“Seit Oktober 2015 betreiben Freiwillige aus Europa, Tunesien und Marokko das Projekt “Watch the Med Alarm-Phone” – jeden Tag, rund um die Uhr ist die Hotline für Flüchtlinge in Seenot erreichbar. Die Helfer setzen sich bei einem Notruf mit den Küstenwachen in Verbindung. Doch diese würden nicht immer helfen, so Alarm-Phone-Aktivist Maurice Stierl. Es handele sich nicht nur um unterlassene Hilfeleistung. “Man kann sogar auch von Mord reden.”

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!

🆘 ~51 people in distress in the Central Med!

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!
