Seventeen people rescued by Aurora safely disembark in Pozzallo
Seventeen people rescued by Aurora safely disembark in Pozzallo.
Sea Watch International disclosed this on its X handle @seawatch_intl.
The post reads: “Last night, we rescued 17 people from a wooden boat in distress. All people are safe onboard our Aurora.
Although by far closer to Lampedusa, Italian authorities force us to sail to Pozzallo, Sicily. It’s 2025 and Europe’s borders are still as violent as ever. Happy New Year.”
After a forced, unnecessary 15-hour transit, Sea Watch International said “all 17 people rescued by our #Aurora safely disembarked in Pozzallo yesterday evening.
“We wish them strength for their continuous struggle against the European border regime and all the best for their new life.”
