In 2024, I joined NGO SARAH Seenotrettung to document their rotation in the central Mediterranean.

On July 21, a distress alert was issued by Alarmphone. With aerial support from Seabird, the rescue vessel SARAH prevented an illegal pushback by the so-called Libyan Coast Guard in the Maltese SAR zone.

19 people who had departed from Libya were safely rescued - once again highlighting ongoing violations of international law and criminal actions against people in maritime distress.
