Hotline for boatpeople in distress. No rescue, but Alarm.

Papierlose Zeitung: «Hery up please ???»: The records of a sea rescue

September 11, 2016

“On 9th September 2015, a Syrian woman contacts by whatsapp the shift team of Watch the Med Alarmphone, an independant hotline for boat people in distress. She is on a boat close to Lesbos. The engine is broken. The whatsapp conversation published here gives impressive insights into Alarmphone’s valuable work and shows clearly the reprehensibility of the European border policies which bring refugees in such dangerous and all too often deadly situations.”

🆘 ~40 people at risk in the Central Med! We alerted authorities yesterday evening to about 40 people who fled #Libya. They report that they're adrift and the wind is strong. Still, authorities are not intervening. They are afraid for their lives, rescue without further delay!
