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.”

⚫ Shipwreck in the Central Med. On 1 April at 11:50h, Alarm Phone alerted authorities to a boat with 75 people. When rescue arrived, 8 people had already died, 11 others died before reaching land. Some survivors are in critical condition. Another crime by the EU border regime!

⚫ Shipwrecks in at least 3 border regions of Europe, just today. Shipwrecks have led to the loss of many lives in the Aegean, the central Med & the Channel.

How much longer will we have to witness these EU border atrocities?

Our solidarity with all those who lost loved ones.

🆘 We were alerted by 47 people stranded on the #Didon oil platform, among them a pregnant woman. The weather is very bad, people's lives are at risk. They are afraid of interception and a forced return to #Libya. We have informed authorities and demand a rescue to a safe place!
