The Humanity 1 will be open to visitors for the next few weeks. There will be a photo exhibition, guided tours, discussions and other events on board.

After rescuing 333 people, our crew arrived back in Syracuse today. A new crew comes on board and prepares the Humanity 1 for the Open Ship in September.

Today, all survivors could go ashore in Genoa.

The Italian authorities instructed us to transfer some of the people rescued to the IT Coast Guard. There is a risk that relatives and friends fleeing together were separated. There is no reason why they could not all go ashore.

A survivor in a critical state of health was evacuated during the night, together with two relatives. The responsible authorities jeopardised his life by their prolonged hesitation and failure to coordinate.

Our crew rescued 260 more people from three boats. At least one of them was in a critical medical condition.

The Italian authorities assigned Genoa – 1,240 kilometres and over four days away - as the port of safety. In the Mediterranean, it is very hot at the moment. Our crew measured temperatures of 28 degrees at 8 a.m. in the morning.

Our crew rescued 13 people from drowning this morning. When they arrived at the distress case, the small rubber boat was already filled with more than 30 cm of water.

Shortly afterwards, another distress call was received and the Humanity 1 set course. The merchant ship JANAKI was already on scene, but the captain did not rescue the boat. He only let two shipwrecked people on board. The so-called Libyan Coast Guard was also on the scene - which caused panic. They intercepted the boat and took the people on board. Although our crew repeatedly pointed out to the captain of the merchant ship that this is illegal, he eventually handed over the two people on his ship to the so-called Libyan Coast Guard.

The so-called Libyan Coast Guard prevented our crew from rescuing. The fleeing people were probably brought back to Libya illegally.

All remaining 58 survivors were safely disembarked in Civitavecchia.

Due to a medical emergency, one survivor together with a family member was evacuated from Humanity 1 by the Italian Coast Guard. The patient was showing symptoms consistent with a heart attack.

This morning, our crew was able to rescue 60 people from distress at sea. The Italian authorities assigned Civitavecchia - ca. 950 km away - as a port of safety.

On board Humanity 1, our new crew is preparing for the upcoming mission with theoretical and practical training in the port of Siracusa, Sicily. Our rescue ship will soon return to the area of operations in the Central Mediterranean.
