🆘 This afternoon, we alerted @HCoastGuard about a group of 23 people who arrived on the #Greek island of #Tilos. The local coast guard told us an operation is ongoing, including police & the fire fighters but that it is difficult to find the group, as they are in the mountains.
🆘️ ~23 people stranded near #Orestiada, #Evros!
The group say they are travelling with children and explain how for more than one month they have been pushed back and forth between #Greece and #Türkiye. They want to ask for asylum in #Greece but are being denied this right!
Authorities of #Simi just confirmed on the phone to have found the whole group and brought them to a police station. They would not give us more information about where the people will be taken to. We hope everybody is fine and that there will be no illegal #pushback.
🆘 We are in contact with a group of 25 people who landed on the #Greek island of #Simi and are calling for help. They have no water and food and some among them need medical attention. Photos shared with us confirm their presence on the island. #StopPushbacks
110 people who fled Libya on an overcrowded boat had alerted @alarm_phone about being in distress. Over 50 of them were crammed in the narrow lower deck and had problems breathing, one person at times lost consciousness, when #Nadir found them early this morning.
