This evening #MoonBird spotted the boat in distress again. This time the Italian coastguard was not there anymore. Why were these people left in distress, at risk of drowning? We don’t have contact anymore. The Italian CG failed to rescue them, at least coordinate a rescue now!

In the afternoon, we spotted the boat again south of #Lampedusa next to a cargo ship & a @guardiacostiera rescue boat. When we returned hours later, the Italian Coast Guard was gone and the people were still on the boat in distress. They need to be rescued NOW!
