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.
