This was contained in a post by AlarmPhone on its X handle.
AlarmPhone provides independent support for people crossing the Mediterranean Sea to the EU.
In its post titled ‘Shipwreck off #Libya!’ AlarmPhone said: “We learned about a shipwreck on 5 April that happened north of #Tripoli. That evening 37 people departed, but shipwrecked the same night. We were never in direct contact with them. Only 3 people survived, so far we don’t have more concrete information. We continuously receive requests from relatives who search for their missing loved ones.”
So far, AlarmPhone said: “there is contradicting information and many open questions regarding the fate of this group. We are trying to get clarity on the case.
“We still did not get any more information about the fate of this group, nor can confirm the shipwreck. We try with all available means to find them and are very worried. Together with the many relatives we still hope to learn about their whereabouts soon!”
