“Zuletzt gingen vier Meldungen aus der Ägäis ein. Flüchtlinge berichteten, dass teils maskierte Spezialeinheiten der Küstenwache zwischen dem türkischen Festland und den griechischen Inseln an Bord gekommen seien. Die Boote seien zu der Zeit nicht in Seenot gewesen.”

🆘 We were called by 36 people in distress between #Tobruk & #Crete. JRCC Cairo ordered the merchant vessel NV MARLIN with destination #Egypt to rescue. The people initially refused as they want to reach a safe place. However they are now on the vessel, headed to an unsafe place.

🆘 ~ 93 people in distress off #Crete!
We are in contact with the group who escaped #Libya and is now drifting in a boat just 14 miles south of #Crete. They told us they have been at sea for 3 days and are without food or water. @HCoastGuard: bring them to land without delay!

🆘 ~30 people in distress in the Central #Mediterranean! RCC #Malta informed about a rescue operation last night. But so far, nobody from this group has been disembarked in Malta. We fear a #pushback. Where are they?
