Alarmphone on X

We are worried! There's no information about the whereabouts of this group since yesterday evening. @hellenicpolice only said they were searching, but to not have found the people. We fear another #pushback!

🆘️ from 42 people in distress 50 km south of #Crete!

We are in contact with the group who told us that they have no fuel left & are drifting at sea. They say they are in a critical situation, but could not yet send us their GPS position. We are worried & alerted @HCoastGuard!

🆘️ from 10 people stuck on an islet in the #Evros river, #Greece!

We are in contact with a worried relative who told us that two infants in critical condition are among this group. We informed the local authorities and asked for urgent medical assistance! #NoPushback!
