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.”

🆘 52 people in grave distress!

We informed authorities in #Italy and #Malta about a boat in severe weather conditions in the Central Mediterranean. Extreme wind makes it impossible to communicate with them, so we do not know their position. They are repeatedly calling for help!

🆘 26 people in distress in the Central Med: We are in contact with a boat in the #Maltese search and rescue zone. The people report water is entering their boat. They urgently need rescue and, at the same time, fear an interception to #Libya. Rescue now, no interception!
