🆘️ About 28 people in distress in Malta SAR!
A boat with ~28 people in distress just reached out to Alarm Phone. They have run out of fuel and are drifting on a wooden boat. They need to be rescued immediately. RCC #Malta, do not evade your duty again!
The people are drifting and it is getting dark at sea. The vessels #ValleDeNervion and #PingHaiWan are close to the boat in distress. RCC #Malta refuses to provide information if a rescue has been launched or not. We hope they won't have to try to survive the night out at sea.
The ~28 people in distress are scared: it is dark at sea, it is raining, and the waves are getting higher. They are only able to move on slowly.
Rescue is needed NOW!
The ~28 people are about 18nm far from #Lampedusa. We informed authorities more than 6 hours ago, but still there is no rescue in sight. According to the people at least on child needs urgent help.
Immediate rescue is needed!
During the night, the Italian coastguard found this boat in distress and rescued the ~28 people to #Lampedusa. We are very relieved to hear that they are safe!
