We call upon responsible politicians to take accountability for the duties of the EU and its member states. We will continue until freedom of movement is guaranteed for all!

A massive thank you to our incredible crews and all our supporters on land, at sea, and in the air! 🤍

Lampedusa was assigned as the port of safety. All 29 people disembarked safely by midnight. We wish them a safe onward journey. With this distress support, we conclude NADIR's tenth operation this year and the 2025 OP year, in which our crews supported 1855 people from 32 boats in distress at sea.

Early Sunday morning, everyone was able to disembark safely on the island. We wish all our guests strength for their upcoming journey.

So our crew first distributed life jackets to everyone and was then able to bring all people safely on board the NADIR shortly afterwards. The competent authorities assigned the NADIR Lampedusa as the next port of safety. On the way there, our crew had to navigate around a large thunderstorm front.

All 71 people were brought safely on board the NADIR, where they were provided with medical care, rescue blankets, water and food. Yesterday morning, the NADIR reached Lampedusa and all survivors could safely disembark. We wish them all the best!

Special thanks go to the crew of #Seabird1, the reconnaissance aircraft of @sea-watch.org, who stood by us when heavily armed assets of the so-called Libyan Coast Guard approached. They monitored the situation from the air, shared vital information and supported our crew in this difficult situation.

The NADIR arrived Tuesday night on the island with the 73 survivors of the first distress case. We wish them strength and safety on their onward journey.

While en route, the NADIR was informed of a second distress case by @alarmphone.bsky.social and @sea-watch.org 's monitoring aircraft #Seabird. The Louise Michel evacuated the 32 ppl from that boat, while the NADIR stood by, ready to assist if necessary, before later resuming course to Lampedusa.

This case once again shows that Tunisian authorities are neither able nor willing to coordinate or assist in situations of distress at sea. Civilian rescue remains essential to prevent further loss of life.

Our crew assessed the scene and quickly decided to evacuate everyone onto the NADIR and proceed to the assigned Port of Safety, Lampedusa. The crew of the @louisemichelcrew.bsky.social was also on scene and helped to shuttle the survivors to the NADIR.

The evacuated people had departed from Libya two days earlier. After being assigned Lampedusa as Port of Safety, NADIR reached the island around midnight. All 56 survivors disembarked safely.

After distributing life vests, our crew brought everyone safely aboard NADIR and provided first aid and drinking water. Many survivors were severely dehydrated and exhausted after spending days exposed to the elements.

The two vessels monitored the situation until the Italian Coast Guard arrived and evacuated all people on board and brought them to Lampedusa, where they disembarked safely in the early morning hours.

Our crew again stabilised the situation, but due to the high number of people and difficult sea conditions, it was impossible to properly assess everyone’s medical condition. According to the survivors, one person is missing.

Together with the help of merchant vessel IVY 1, which gave shelter to wind and 2m swell, our crew stabilised the situation, informed the responsible authorities and distributed life vests. When IVY 1 and NADIR further accompanied the survivors, they met 100 more people on a second boat in distress.

The survivors were heavily affected by the strong waves and many people stayed under deck – an extremely dangerous situation due to poor air circulation and toxic chemical fumes.

After handing in the report on Sunday in Lampedusa, NADIR sailed to a fourth distress case relayed by Seabird 3. In the dark, the crew found 77 people. Two went overboard but were recovered by our tender. Later, all were evacuated by the Coast Guard.
