Taz: "Schrecklicheres verhindert"

“Die Initiative Watch the Med Alarmphone erhielt am Samstagmorgen den Notruf eines Schlauchbootes mit 150 Menschen, das am Vorabend nördlich des libyschen Al-Chums in See gestochen war. „Wir haben sie über 24 Stunden am Telefon begleiten müssen, bevor endlich Rettung kam“, sagt Hagen Kopp vom Alarmphone. Die vom Alarmphone informierte Rettungsleitstelle in Rom wies den Tiertransporter Lady Rasha und den Frachter AS Elenia vergeblich an, die Flüchtlinge an Bord zu nehmen.

🆘 55 people in distress at sea near #Sicily! The group is adrift and reports water in the boat. Italian authorities told us that an operation was ongoing for many hours already. Still, no rescue is in sight! We urge the authorities to send rescue without delay!

While dozens of people are missing in the central #Mediterranean, Italy assaults the rescue community, once again. Our full solidarity with Sea-Watch and the #Aurora! We will prevail!

🆘️ from 7 people stuck & in urgent need of medical assistance in the forest on the #Greek side of the #Evros river!

We are in contact with relatives of the group, which we did not reach so far. @HellenicPolice is alerted & informed that the group cannot continue their journey.
