Das stimmt!
Beim ihrem ersten Versuch ertranken 43, beim zweiten Versuch hat sie 120 gerettet.
Hätte die Küstenwache nicht noch schnell die anderen gerettet, wären die auch noch ertrunken. ImageImage

🔴ULTIMORA! Sei naufragi e ~200 morti al largo della #Libia a settembre!

Centinaia di persone sono morte nel #Med centrale in pochi giorni. Ancora silenzio delle autorità europee. I sopravvissuti sono vivi grazie agli sforzi dei pescatori.
Grazie @RescueMed per la traduzione.
Come ad agosto, molti dei naufragi avvenuti a settembre non sono stati ammessi dalle autorità. Eccetto pochi casi, abbiamo saputo di queste tragiche morti in mare grazie ai sopravvissuti o ai coraggiosi pescatori che si sono rivolti ad Alarm Phone per far sentire la loro voce.
🔺1° naufragio: 22 morti, 45 sopravvissuti detenuti.
Il 14/09 IOM ha riportato il soccorso di una barca da parte della cd. Guardia Costiera libica. Troppo tardi per 22 persone, morte dopo il rovesciamento della barca. 45 sopravvissuti portati nel centro di detenzione di Zawiya.

🔴BREAKING! Six shipwrecks and almost 200 deaths off #Libya in September!

Hundreds of people have died in the Central Med over just a few days & again European authorities keep silent. Those who survived are alive only thanks to the efforts of fishermen.

alarmphone.org/en/2020/09/27/…
As in August, most shipwrecks that happened in September were not recognised by any authority. With the exception of a few, we only heard of these tragic deaths at sea because traumatised survivors or brave fishermen reached out to #AlarmPhone to make their voices heard.
🔺1st shipwreck: 22 people died and 45 survivors detained.

IOM reported that on 14/09 a boat was rescued by the so-called Libyan Coast Guard. They arrived too late for 22 people who died after the boat capsized. The 45 survivors were imprisoned in the detention centre of Zawya.

🆘This morning, #AlarmPhone was alerted by some relatives about a boat with ~10 persons onboard, which departed on Monday night from Bab El Oued, in #Algeria. We informed authorities today at 3:20pm. @salvamentogov, the launch of a rescue operation is urgently needed!
🔴 WHERE ARE THEY?

No news concerning ~10 people in distress who left #Algeria on 21 September. We fear that they will have to survive a 4th night at sea. Relatives say they are on a white and blue wooden boat. @salvamentogob believe they are not in Spanish SAR zone yet.
Relatives keep calling us - they lost contact with their loved ones since Monday night. After we alerted authorities almost 24h ago, still no search and rescue in sight. We strongly ask @salvamentogob to search for them! We hope they are still alive.

🆘 Urgent! A boat with 86 people in distress is at severe risk of sinking between #Libya and #Lampedusa! Don‘t let them drown!

At 01:15am #AlarmPhone was alerted by this boat fleeing the Libyan war zone. Since then, no reaction by authorities.

The boat has to be rescued NOW!!! Image
Europe leaves ~86 lives at risk!

10h ago we alerted authorities to a boat in distress. Still no rescue in sight, only a @Frontex plane watches them from above. The boat is deflating & water is entering. The people call for rescue, they are in grave danger! Don't let them drown!
We finally managed to talk to the so-called Libyan Coastguard, who we informed at 1.15am. They said they are aware of the case but no rescue has been sent.
We are still in contact with the people in distress who are in panic with no water and food & little hope for rescue!

🔸Relatives of people who went missing in the last week shipwrecks keep contacting #AlarmPhone to ask what happened to them & if anyone is looking for them. Unfortunately, it is impossible to give answers. We can only show their pictures to the survivors to ask about their fate.
As with every shipwreck, it is difficult to verify the identities of those who were on board. For the shipwreck of February 9 2020, only after months of research with relatives & friends were we able to retrieve the identities of 60 out of the 91 missing persons. #SayTheirNames
This work & this uncertainty is exhausting for those who miss their loved ones. They cannot start grieving until they have answers, and often clear answers never come. This is an additional form of violence perpetrated by the border regime, which makes black lives ungrievable.

🆘~100 persone in grave pericolo al largo della #Libia! Hanno appena contattato #AlarmPhone: il gommone si sta sgonfiando e un tubo sta scoppiando.
Allertate le autorità, speriamo il soccorso arrivi subito.
Non lasciate che avvenga un altro naufragio e soccorrete immediatamente! Image
🔴 La cd guardia costiera libica è stata informata della barca in pericolo con ~100 persone a sole 30nm dalla costa libica, ma dicono di NON POTER soccorrere! È la 2a volta in pochi giorni che non intervengono. Sabato decine di persone sono morte!
#DontLetThemDrown
La cd. Guardia costiera libica ci ha detto che non possono intercettare persone in pericolo. Le autorità italiane ci dicono che non è loro area di competenza. Questo non è vero! #Italia, #Malta e #UE: SIETE TUTTI RESPONSABILI DELLA MORTE DELLE PERSONE! #Borderskill

🆘 ~100 people urgently asking for help off #Libya! They just reached out to #AlarmPhone saying their rubber boat is deflating & one tube is bursting.

We alerted all authorities & hope rescue will arrive quickly.

Don’t let another shipwreck happen & rescue now! Image
🔴The so-called Libyan Coastguard is informed about the sinking boat with ~100 people in distress just 30nm off the Libyan coast, but again they say they CANNOT rescue! It is the 2nd time in a few days they don’t intervene. On Saturday dozens of people died! #DontLetThemDrown
The so-called libyan coastguard told us that their vessel is broken and cannot intercept people in distress. Italian authorities tell us they are not responsitble for the area. This is not true! #Italy, #Malta and #EU: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DROWNING OF PEOPLE! #Borderskill

🆘 ~85 people in distress in Malta SAR! A boat with ~85 people escaping #Libya reached out to #AlarmPhone. Their engine is not working and they are afraid of drowning. Their boat is South of #Lampedusa and they urgently need rescue! All authorities are informed. #DontLetThemDrown Image
The ~85 people survived the night in distress in Malta SAR zone. The vessel Contship Ray found the boat, but they are not rescuing. The people are in panic & urgently ask for water & rescue. @Armed_Forces_MT, don't delay the rescue or order vessel #ContshipRay to rescue! ImageImage
After the merchant vessel denied rescue, the ~85 people on this boat in distress managed to bravely continue towards #Lampedusa, and we believe they reached the Italian island yesterday.

Unfortunately, authorities refuse to provide any information about arrivals in Italy.

🆘SOS! Un’altra barca in pericolo nella zona SAR maltese! Nella tarda mattinata, #AlarmPhone è stato contattato da ~22 persone in fuga dalla #Libia. Le autorità sono informate. Chiediamo al RCC di #Malta di non ritardare ancora una volta i soccorsi ma di attivarli immediatamente! Image
Le persone in pericolo sono alla deriva in zona SAR Maltese, hanno esaurito il carburante. Alcuni provano a portare avanti l'imbarcazione remando con le braccia. Diversi bambini a bordo sono in preda al panico.

#Malta deve agire ora!
Non siamo in grado di ricontattare le persone da 3 ore ormai, non sappiamo come stiano.

Chiediamo alle @Armed_Forces_MT: che misure volete attuare per chi è alla deriva nella vostra zona SAR?

Promemoria: un respingimento tramite la cosiddetta Guardia Costiera Libica è illegale!

Barca in pericolo in zona SAR di #Malta! 33 persone in fuga dalla #Libia hanno chiamato #AlarmPhone. Il motore non funziona e stanno imbarcando acqua. Una persona è svenuta. Chiedono aiuto urgente. @Armed_Forces_MT non tardate i soccorsi e portatele al sicuro in #Europa ora! Image
Le persone in mare sono in grande pericolo, al telefono implorano di essere soccorsi! Dicono di essere alla deriva, stanno imbarcando acqua e diverse persone sono svenute per il caldo e mancanza d’acqua. Hanno visto un elicottero vicino. Non ritardate i soccorsi!
Le persone in pericolo dicono che una nave grigia è arrivata, ha dato acqua e fatto foto. L’equipaggio era in divisa e parlava inglese. Non hanno potuto identificare la nave ma temono sia la cd. Guardia Costiera libica pronta per un altro respingimento illegale dalla SAR maltese!

🆘Boat in danger in Malta SAR zone! A boat with ~33 people fleeing #Libya reached out to #AlarmPhone. The engine is not working & water is coming in. One person fainted. They are urgently asking for help. @Armed_Forces_MT do not delay rescue & bring them to safety in #Europe now! Image
The people in distress are in great danger, begging for rescue on the phone! They say they are drifting, water is entering the boat and several people have passed out due to the heat and lack of water. They've reported the presence of a helicopter near them. Do not delay rescue!
The people in distress say that a grey vessel came to them, brought water & took pictures. They crew had a uniform and spoke in English. They cannot identify the vessel, but we fear it might be the so-called Libyan Coastguards preparing another illegal pushback from #Malta SAR!

🆘 Un’altra barca in pericolo con ~45 persone in fuga dalla #Libia ha chiamato #AlarmPhone stanotte. Sono in zona SAR di #Malta e chiedono soccorso immediato. Di nuovo le autorità sono informate ma non rispondono. @Armed_Forces_MT, il soccorso in mare è un vostro dovere! Image
Siamo ancora in contatto con le persone a bordo di questa barca in pericolo. La barca è alla deriva e abbiamo fornito alle autorità tutte e informazioni che abbiamo. Le persone sono in pessima forma e spaventate. Questa sofferenza non è necessaria! Serve soccorso immediato! Image
La barca è ferma e le persone ci supplicano di aiutarle. Sono vicine alla zona SAR italiana e hanno visto un elicottero verde sopra di loro. Il soccorso è un dovere di Stato! #Malta e #Italia, smettete di giocare con la vita delle persone e lanciate un'operazione di soccorso ora!

We are still in contact with the people on this boat in distress. The boat is drifting and we have given the authorities all the information we have. The people are in a very bad shape and scared. This suffering is unnecessary! Rescue is needed now! Image
The boat is at a standstill and the people plead for help. They are close to the Italian SAR zone and saw a green helicopter above them. Rescue is a state’s duty! Malta and Italy should stop playing such dangerous games with people’s lives and launch a rescue operation now!

🆘URGENTE!!! ~95 persone sono a rischio di annegare nella zona SAR di #Malta! Hanno chiamato #AlarmPhone quando il motore ha smesso di funzionare e stavano imbarcando acqua. La situazione a bordo è critica. Autorità maltesi & italiane sono informate ma non rispondono. Soccorrete! Image
02:45 Le persone in pericolo dicono di non poter rimuovere l’acqua dalla barca perché é sovraffollata. Urlano: “stiamo morendo!”. Il mercantile #Maridive230 è a ~20 miglia dalla barca e potrebbe ricevere ordine di soccorrere ma @Armed_Forces_MT non rispondono alle nostre chiamate
03.45: Ancora più acqua entra nella barca. Abbiamo detto loro che Malta è stata avvertita ma non risponde. "Ma stiamo affogando, cosa aspettano? che moriamo?" Hanno detto. Hanno poi ricevuto una chiamata da un numero maltese "stiamo arrivando, stiamo arrivando" #BlackLivesMatter

🆘URGENT!!! ~95 people are at risk of drowning in Maltese SAR zone! The people reached out to #AlarmPhone as their engine is not working and water is entering the boat. The situation on board is critical. Maltese & Italian authorities are informed but not responding. Rescue now! Image
02:45 The people in distress say they cannot get water out of the boat because it is too overcrowded: "we are really dying!” they scream. The Merchant vessel #Maridive230 is ~20 nm away from the boat & should be ordered to rescue, but @Armed_Forces_MT is not responding our calls.
03.45: More and more water was entering the boat. We said that we called Malta but no answer. "But we are drowning. What are they waiting for? That we die?" said the people. Later, they received a call from a Maltese number saying "we are coming, we are coming". #BlackLivesMatter

#Moonbird di @seawatch_intl ha individuato la barca dall’alto. Le ~83 persone sono a poche miglia dalla zona Ricerca e Soccorso italiana. Abbiamo perso i contatti con la barca alle 13:17h CEST. @guardiacostiera, intervenite! Non aspettate finché è troppo tardi!
#Moonbird ha individuato la barca con ~83 persone che ha chiamato #AlarmPhone e una seconda barca sovraffolata e in pericolo. Sono entrambe sono a sud di #Lampedusa nella zona SAR di #Malta. @guardiacostiera & @Armed_Forces_MT basta giochi politici e basta ritardi nei soccorsi!

SOS! ~83 lives at risk in Malta SAR

About an hour ago, we were alerted by ~83 people on a boat in distress in Malta SAR, south of Lampedusa. They say there are two pregnant women on board, one of whom is close to delivery. Authorities are informed, rescue is needed immediately! Image
#Moonbird of @seawatch_intl spotted the boat from the air. The ~83 people are now a few nautical miles away from the Italian Search and Rescue zone. We lost contact after 13:17h CEST. @guardiacostiera, intervene now! Do not wait until it is too late!
#Moonbird spotted the boat in distress with ~83 people that reached out to #AlarmPhone as well as another overcrowded boat in distress. They are both south of #Lampedusa, in Malta Search & Rescue zone. @guardiacostiera & @Armed_Forces_MT stop playing games & stop delaying rescue!

🆘 ~65 persone in pericolo nella SAR maltese! Una barca con ~65 persone in fuga dall’inferno e torture della #Libia ha chiamato #AlarmPhone stamattina. Sono nella zona di #Malta e il motore non funziona. Dicono che una donna sia svenuta e hanno bisogno di soccorso urgente!
Abbiamo allertato le autorità ma #Malta non risponde al telefono. Le persone sono in mare da + di 24 ore. @Armed_Forces_Malta è tuo dovere soccorrerle al più presto e portarle in Europa! Una barca di legno può capovolgersi in ogni momento e i ritardi costano la vita delle persone
Le persone a bordo sono nel panico! Dicono di stare imbarcando acqua. Nella zona le onde raggiungono i 2 metri e c'è forte vento. Il soccorso non deve essere ritardato ma #Malta non sta rispondendo alle chiamate di soccorso.

🆘 ~65 people in distress in Malta SAR! A boat with ~65 people escaping the Libyan hell & torture camps called #AlarmPhone this morning. They are in #Malta Search & Rescue zone & their engine is not working. They said a woman has fainted & they all need urgent rescue! Image
We alerted authorities but #Malta is not answering the phone. The people have been at sea for more than 24 hours. @Armed_Forces_MT it‘s your duty to rescue them as quickly as possible & to bring them to Europe! A wooden boat can capsize at any moment & delays risk people’s lives.
The people on board are panicking! They said that water is entering the boat. In the area waves are up to 2 metres high and there are strong winds. Rescue should not be delayed, but #Malta is still not responding to the distress calls. #DontLetThemDrown #BlackLivesMatter

Poco fa ~23 persone in pericolo su una barca nella zona SAR di Malta hanno chiamato #AlarmPhone. Abbiamo immediatamente chiesto alle autorità di #Malta e #Italia di intervenire. È buio in mare e speriamo che i soccorsi arrivino presto. Image
Abbiamo parlato nuovamente con le persone fuggite da Zuwara in #Libya. Dicono che il motore ha smesso di funzionare. Sono alla deriva e stanno imbarcando acqua!
@Armed_Forces_MT e @guardiacostiera: non ritardate i soccorsi!
Le ~23 persone sono ancora in mare. #Italia e #Malta non li hanno soccorsi durante la notte. Le persone dicono che il motore non sta funzionando bene e che sono esausti.
Chiediamo alle autorità di compiere il loro dovere e soccorrerli adesso!

Moments ago, ~23 people on a boat in distress in the Maltese Search and Rescue zone reached out to #AlarmPhone. We immediately requested the Maltese and Italian authorities to launch a rescue operation. It is dark at sea, we hope rescue is coming. Image
We spoke to the people again who escaped from Zuwara in #Libya. They say that their engine stopped working. They are drifting and water is entering the boat!
@Armed_Forces_MT and @guardiacostiera: do not delay rescue!
The ~23 people are still at sea. #Italy and #Malta failed to rescue them yet - during a complete night. The people say that the engine is not working properly and that they are exhausted.
We ask the authorities to fulfil their obligation and to rescue them now!

🆘~57 persone in pericolo a largo della Libia

Ieri, Alarm Phone è stato allertato da una barca in pericolo partita dalla Libia. La connessione era scadente. Non abbiamo potuto ottenere tutte le informazioni necessarie né verificare la posizione. Le autorità sono informate.
Un parente ha contattato #AlarmPhone e ha fornito la posizione della barca in pericolo. Secondo la posizione ricevuta, dovrebbero essere a poche miglia nautiche dalla SAR italiana. Le persone in pericolo dicono che il loro motore è rotto e che l'acqua sta entrando nella barca! Image
Siamo contenti che alle 12.39 CEST #MoonBird ha individuato la barca in contatto con #AlarmPhone. Ci ha confermato la posizione a Sud di #Lampedusa(35d07N, 012d27E) e che la barca è alla deriva. @guardiacostiera & @Armed_Forces_MT le 57 persone necessitano soccorso immediato!

🆘~57 people in distress off Libya

Yesterday, Alarm Phone was alerted by a boat in distress after they had left from Libya. Our phone connection was bad. We were not able to gather all needed information and could not verify their position beyond doubt. Authorities are informed.
A relative got in touch with #AlarmPhone & provided the position of the boat in distress. According to the position received, it should be a few nautical miles from the Italian SAR zone. The people in distress told us that their engine is not working & water is entering the boat! Image
We are glad that at 12.39 CEST #MoonBird spotted the wooden boat that is in contact with #AlarmPhone, and was able to confirm its position South of #Lampedusa (35d07N, 012d27E) & that the boat is adrift. @guardiacostiera & @Armed_Forces_MT - the 57 people need rescue now!
