The condition of the people was announced by AlarmPhone.
The announcement said: “45 people in urgent distress by #Crete!
The people say half of them are children, with many seriously sick. They have been at sea for more than a day and need immediate rescue. @Hcoastguard say they are looking for them: rescue now and don’t facilitate a #pushback to #Libya!”
Referencing a publication, AlarmPhone said: “According to this news article, the group was rescued by a merchant vessel and then taken on board a @HCoastGuard asset. JRCC Pireaus told us that the “people are safe”. We are hoping for the group to confirm this, but could not reach them until now.”
