HVNL: "Bootvluchtelingen redden vanuit de huiskamer"

“Duizenden vluchtelingen proberen dagelijks vanuit Noord-Afrika de oversteek te maken naar Europa, in gammele en overvolle bootjes. Als ze in de problemen komen, kunnen ze bellen met de hulplijn van de internationale groep ‘Watch the Med(iterranean)’. Grote kans dat ze dan Nederlandse vrijwilligers aan de lijn krijgen, bijvoorbeeld Joyce en Teun.”

🆘 from Central Med - ca. 45 people in distress off #Zawiya !
We are in contact with a group in distress at sea ca. 35 miles north of #Libya. The people told us that they ran out of fuel and that their boat is sinking.
Authorities are alerted, please act quickly!

The attack by Italy on the rescue organisation @RescueMed for adhering to maritime law is cynical. The first ship of the #JusticeFleet faces 60 days of detention & a 10k fine for rescuing people to the Italian shore. Our full solidarity with #Mediterranea!

🆘 URGENT!
70 people in distress off #Libya!
Last night we received calls from people on a deflating rubber boat, they reported people in the water, we immediately informed authorities. The phone numbers of the so-called Libyan coastguard are not responsive.
Rescue is needed NOW!
