The fate of 100 migrants who, according to the Alarm Phone, reached the Italian SAR area during the night is uncertain. “We have lost contact with people since early morning and Mrcc Roma (the SAR command of the Coast Guard, ed) refuses to provide any information – says the humanitarian organization – they reached the Italian SAR area (the sea area under the jurisdiction of Italy, ed.) in the night, all the authorities are informed. “Yesterday the boat was in the Sar Maltese. “The water has entered the boat, and the engine does not work,” the NGO wrote on Twitter. Today the Alarm Phone tweets: “Since yesterday no news of the 100 people. The so-called Libyan Coast Guard reports that they are patrolling the area, but does not confirm the rescue of this boat.We believe that the people have been at sea for over 24 hours. We fear for their lives. “
And between yesterday and today, the Sea-Eye 4 ship rescued 330 migrants in five rescue episodes in the Mediterranean. The last of the incidents occurred during the night, when another boat with 99 people was spotted, most of whom claim to be from Syria. “The crew works to the limit,” says the German NGO. The emergency continues in Lampedusa: three landings between yesterday afternoon and last night. Sixteen Tunisians, including a minor, arrived yesterday afternoon. In the following hours, with the moon already high, 61 other migrants, who had sailed from Libya, as reported by Mediterraneo.it, were rescued in the Italian SAR area and disembarked in the port of the island: among them 5 women and 8 children. Shortly after, another 81 people.
And yesterday another tragedy of the sea would have occurred: about 47 migrants would have fallen into the water from a dinghy in distress off Khoms, Libya. The Alarm Phone reported yesterday, which had given news of the sighting of the boat in the late afternoon. “A relative spoke to the 100 people in danger – writes the NGO in a tweet – and told us that half of the boat deflated. He said that 47 people fell into the sea. They need immediate research and help. Do not let them drown. “.
