The Humanity 1 is back in Syracuse, Italy. Feedback talks with the crew and follow-up work on the last mission are taking place there.

In the afternoon, the 82 survivors were able to disembark safely in Reggio Calabria in Italy. Some of them were immediately taken to hospital.

The crew had to activate a medical emergency plan due to the critical condition of survivors. We need a close port of safety for disembarkation of all survivors & and treatment of medical cases!

Today, our crew rescued over 80 people including unaccompanied minors from distress at sea. When Humanity 1 reached the unseaworthy and overcrowded wooden boat, it was already listing to one side.

All 195 survivors can go ashore in Trapani in Italy.

The Italian authorities assign another port of safety: Trapani in Italy.

Following a distress call from Alarmphone and in coordination with the Italian Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre, our crew was able to rescue another 46 people in distress at sea, including minors.

In the late afternoon, our crew was once again able to rescue 38 people from distress at sea. The survivors had spent three days on an overcrowded, unseaworthy rubber boat without life jackets.

Shortly before midnight, our crew rescued 47 people, including minors. Masked men forced them off their boat. According to the rescued people, they were actors from the so-called Libyan Coast Guard.

The Italian authorities assign the distant port of Marina di Carrara in northern Italy as a place of safety. On the way there, extrem wether conditions are expected. We are demaning a closer place of safety for the survivors!

In the evening, our crew was able to rescue over 60 people from an overcrowded and unseaworthy rubber boat, including women and children.

Since last night, a patrol boat of the Libyan militia ‘Stability Support Apparatus’ (SSA) has been following the Humanity 1. In the afternoon, the crew had to witness an illegal pull-back by this very patrol boat. Several contact attempts remained unanswered.

After all the survivors have made it safely ashore, the crew is back in the operational area and on the lookout for boats in distress.

This morning, all 70 survivors were able to go ashore. The weather conditions were - as during the journey to the port - very bad. At first, the Humanity 1 was therefore unable to moor and had to wait until the wind died down.

The authorities have reacted to our request and assigned Reggio Calabria in Italy as the new port of safety for the Humanity 1.

The crew was assigned Bari in Italy as a port of safety - more than 1,111 kilometres from the location of rescue. Under the bad weather conditions, the Humanity 1 won’t reach Bari before Monday morning which means unnecessary stress for the rescued people.

In the evening, our crew rescued 70 people from distress at sea and brought them safely on board the Humanity 1. The rubber boat had left from Libya already two days ago. By the time the crew arrived, it had lost a lot of air, taken in water and was in danger of sinking. Nobody was wearing a lifejacket.

This afternoon, on the way to a boat in distress, the crew spots a boat of the so-called Libyan Coast Guard. Unfortunately, Humanity 1 arrives too late. All the crew finds is an empty boat - most likely another illegal pull-back.

This morning our crew finds an empty boat. The people were probably pulled-back by the so-called Libyan Coast Guard.

The Humanity 1 leaves the port of Syracuse. The crew is busy with the final training sessions - including training on the speedboats and in the clinic.

The Humanity 1 arrived today in the port of Siracuse. The crew prepares for the last mission of this year.

This morning, the person rescued by our crew on Saturday was brought safely ashore in the port of Porto Empedocle.

Italian authorities have assigned Porto Empedocle, instead of Salerno, as the place of safety for the person that our crew rescued yesterday.

In the afternoon, the crew of Humanity 1 rescued a single person without life-saving equipment from an unseaworthy boat in distress spotted from our rescue ship in international waters off the Libyan coast. The person stated to have fled and asked the crew for help and protection. Italy assigned the distant port of Salerno as a place of safety.

For over a week, our crew has been on the lookout for boats in distress in strong winds and high waves. In this storm, the unseaworthy boats in which people flee would not stand a chance.

This morning, the crew of the Humanity 1 found an empty fibreglass boat in the Libyan search and rescue zone. Our crew arrived too late. Most likely there was another illegal pull-back by the so-called Libyan Coast Guard.

The 36 survivors have safely disembarked in Crotone, Italy. Our crew is returning to the area of operation.

Coordinated by ital. authorities, our crew rescued 36 people from distress at sea. Crotone was assigned as a place of safety.

The new crew members are on board. They still have several days of intensive training ahead of them before they start with the lookout.
