The boat is only 32 nautical miles from #Lampedusa, but #MRCC #Rome confirmed the SRR is #Malta & the operations is coordinated by Malta Maritime Authority. I have called again MRCC Malta but no reply. 43 people are at risk in the Mediterranean & the authorities are informed.
About yesterday boat in distress with 45 ppl on board: families & friends from #Eritrea started to inform authorities ≈17PM. They were rescued by @openarms_fund at night.
Let me ask. If on board there were Italians/French? Would #Malta #Italy have left them in danger at sea?

Why the Rescue Coordination #Malta #Italy are not able to respond timely to distress call?
It's important to investigate allegation of omission to provide assistance to ppl in distress at sea.
The boat was 30NM from Lampedusa.
It's a deliberate action for political reasons.
