Today the Alarm Phone turns 11 years old. Since we started in Oct. 2014, we assisted over 10.000 boats in distress, trying to accompany them on their journeys to Europe. Also in the years to come, we’ll keep struggling with people on the move & for the freedom of movement of all!

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

Aujourd'hui le Pacte Asyle et Migration entre officiellement en vigueur: plus de detentions, fichages, déportations. La politique raciste & coloniale de l'UE tue chaque année de milliers de personnes. Alarmphone appelle à se mobiliser en solidarité pour la liberté de circulation!

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

Today, the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) is coming into effect: more detentions, data collection and deportations. The violent and racist border policies of the #EU kill thousands of people every year. Alarm Phone calls to mobilise for a #FreedomOfMovement for all!

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

We did not manage to speak to the group again but the local police told us that they found and assisted them. We hope to hear from the group soon.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘️ from 18 people who arrived on the island of #Ikaria, #Greece!
We are in contact with the group who is calling for help. We informed local authorities that the group needs medical assistance. The local police said that they are looking for them. Send help now & no #pushback.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

We are concerned about the well-being of the group as #Egypt is not a safe country for people who were forced back when attempting to reach Europe.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘 40 people adrift south of #Crete, #Greece!
Alarm Phone has alerted authorities to this group in distress. The people report water in the boat and several people over board! They need immediate assistance, rescue now before it is too late!

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

We learned from JRCC Cairo that the group was assisted by the crew of the SOUNION but taken to Port Said, #Egypt! We have not heard from the group again. We remain without information about the 8 people who reportedly went over board.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

Où sont-elles ? Les 180 personnes sont toujours injoignables. Plusieurs bateaux auraient été interceptés en #Mauritanie, mais les familles restent sans nouvelles. Nous exigeons la poursuite des opérations de recherche !
#NeLesLaissezPasSeNoyer

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘dans l’#Atlantique! Nous sommes sans nouvelles d’une pirogue de 180 personnes partie de #Casamance le 24 mai dernier. Les autorités sont informées mais ne donnent pas d’informations. Nous nous joignons aux familles pour demander la poursuite des recherches. Où sont elles?

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

Where are they? The 180 people are still unreachable. Several boats seem to have been intercepted to #Mauritania, but families remain without news. We demand that the search operations continue!
#Dontletthemdrown

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘 in the #Atlantic! We have lost contact with a boat carrying 180 people that left #Casamance on May 24. The authorities have been informed but are not providing any information. We stand with the families and demand that the search continue. Where are they?

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

We have not heard from the group for some time and the Greek authorities are not telling us if they assisted them or not. We hope they are safe but fear this was a #pushback

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘️ ~ 13 people, including 2 children in urgent need of medical assistance near Kissatio, #Greece!

We are in contact with a group who reports that one child fell into the water & is in critical condition & that another child is injured. We alerted local authorities.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

Anti-migrant violence is, once again, escalating in #Libya. People on the move are targeted and assaulted. Yet, the EU continues its collaboration with Libyan authorities and militias to capture those trying to escape this violence.

[رصد الجرائم في ليبيا - Libya Crimes Watch @LCWNGO]

Libya Crimes Watch (LCW) is monitoring with grave concern the escalation of serious violations, hate speech, and incitement to violence targeting migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and foreign workers in Libya since the beginning of June 2026. These include arbitrary detentions, raids on and forcible evictions from places of residence, and physical and verbal assaults, occurring alongside a surge in hate speech and incitement against these groups across the country

Media reports only mention a rescue to Ierapetra of more than 70 people. We were not able to find a news article that reports on a case that matches our case and we don't have news from the group or their relatives.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘️ from ~42 people south of #Crete!

The people said that the conditions are very bad & that they need rescue urgently! We have not been able to establish contact with them again. Both the @HCoastGuard and #Egyptian Coast Guard say they will not begin a rescue operation.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

We don't know if this group has arrived as we have lost contact to them. We cannot match this case to the various news reports but hope they were rescued & arrived safely.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘️ from ~36 people south of #Crete, #Greece!

The people are in Greek SAR and need rescue! @HCoastGuard have been alerted to the distress case, we hope they will soon find the people and bring them safely to Crete.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

@HCoastGuard We have not heard back from the group & have no news from the relatives either. There were many arrivals on #Crete in the last days, which makes it difficult to match arrivals reported on the news, to our cases. We hope to hear from the group or their relatives soon.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘️! ~38 people in distress at sea south of #Crete, #Greece!

The people say they are almost out of fuel and need urgent rescue! We have alerted @HCoastGuard and urge them to begin a rescue operation immediately.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

@HCoastGuard The people have told us they are out of fuel and cannot continue. The @HCoastGuard only say they are investigating - we urge an immediate rescue operation & hope the people will be found soon!

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

Pushback to #Libya!
Sadly we have not heard from the people on the boat. We can only assume that it matches a violent pushback to #Libya via Libyan forces from Malta SAR.
We hope that everyone survived.

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘 49 people adrift in the Central Mediterranean!
Alarm Phone was called by a group who fled #Libya, but run out of fuel in the #Maltese search and rescue zone. The boat is adrift since hours already. Authorities are informed.
The people need immediate rescue!
@Armed_Forces_MT

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

Update: since 05:12h CEST, we cannot reach the people in distress anymore and are worried. Authorities in #Italy and #Malta fail to provide any information. Once more, we call on them to not let the 49 people drown!

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

We could not establish contact to the person in distress & have no news from the family members. We don't know if the police have assisted and hope to hear from the person soon!

[@alarmphone @alarm_phone]

🆘️ from 1 person stranded close to #Likofos, #Evros!

Relatives contacted us about 1 person who they lost contact with this morning. They say he had no food or water & was in need of assistance. We have alerted authorities in the area & ask that they help and do not #pushback!
