45 survivors went ashore today in Savona (Italy) – 5 days after their rescue.

The Italian authorities have assigned the port of Savona in northern Italy for the disembarkation - almost five days crossing.

Our crew was able to rescue over 40 people in distress at sea. A boat belonging to the so-called Libyan Coast Guard was also on scene. They did not initiate a rescue, did not respond to radio calls and headed away. After the rescue, two boats belonging to the so-called Libyan Coast Guard approached and fired several shots at the now empty boat.

Today, the crew of Humanity 1 headed to a distress case in international waters, following a mayday relay of the Frontex plane Sparrow 2. But upon arrival, three small boats identifying themselves as part of the EU-funded Libyan Coast Guard were already there. We had to witness how people seeking protection were denied their right to asylum and were illegally intercepted. Sparrow 2 was circling the case the entire time.

34 survivors could finally disembark today in Porto Empedocle, southern Italy. The bodies of two victims were also brought ashore.

Update: The Italian authorities assigned Porto Empedocle, in the South of Italy, as a port of safety.

Two dead after dramatic rescue – and the Italian authorities refuse to allow disembarkation at a nearby port. Yesterday the crew of Humanity 1 rescued 41 people, for two people, any help came too late. Instead of allowing the survivors and the two dead bodies to be brought ashore at a nearby port, the Italian authorities assigned the Humanity 1 to the port of Bari, over 1,000 kilometres away. In doing so, they are actively endangering the lives of the remaining survivors!

4 days after the rescue, all 29 survivors were able to disembark today in Marina di Carrara, Italy. Although almost half of the survivors are minors – many of them unaccompanied – the Italian authorities once again assigned a distant port for the disembarkation to our crew.

Our rescue ship Humanity 1 is on its way to Marina di Carrara (Italy) to bring all 29 survivors to a place of safety.

This morning, our crew could rescue 29 people from distress. During the operation they had to witness a presumed pull-back by the so-calles Libyan Coast Guard.

RHIB trainings are finished, the crew will close the last preparations tomorrow.

Today at 05.45 CEST the Humanity1 left the port and is now at sea East of Syracuse continuing our trainings. First practice with our fast rescue boats will be this afternoon.

The entire crew is now on board of the Humanity 1. Preparations are going smoothly so far and the mood on board is good. Training sessions for the entire crew are still taking place, with completion planned for the middle of next week.

Podcasts, Twitch livestreams and exclusive insights: this weekend, influencers and creators will be guests at Humanity 1.

Humanity 1 is back in Syracuse. There the crew prepares for the next mission.

The 51 survivors were able to go ashore this morning. After their already life-threatening attempt to cross the Mediterranean, they had to endure unnecessary additional days on board the Humanity 1 – strains for which the Italian authorities are responsible.

We have been assigned Ravenna as place of safety for the 51 survivors of the last rescue – almost 1,600 km from the location of rescue.

This morning, our crew rescued 51 people – including more than 10 unaccompanied minors – from an overcrowded, unseaworthy rubber boat, assisted by the civil search aircraft Colibri 1 from Pilotes Volontaires. They also witnessed the illegal interception of another boat in distress by the so-called Libyan Coast Guard.

The crew finished all debriefings and stations are all reset and ready for rescue again.

After the disembarkation - the Humanity 1 is passing through the strait of Messina this evening. Our crew will reset all stations and is active with debriefings.

All 134 survivors could go ashore in Naples, Italy.

Today our crew had two rescue operations, less then 12 hours after starting the mission. The 134 people were in distress in international waters. The Italian authorities assigned the port of Naples as place of safety, which is over 750km far from the place of rescue. Planned arrival on Tuesday.

Start of mission 21 with Humanity 1: Trainings are in full process, step by step the crew is getting ready to rescue.
