Following an Eagle1 Mayday Relay, the NADIR assisted 29 people in distress from a dangerously overcrowded rubber boat on Tuesday. Due to the urgent need for medical attention, all were immediately taken aboard the NADIR vessel. Tunisian authorities arrived but departed after a brief exchange.

Last Saturday morning, our crew found a fiberglass boat in distress with 47 people on board. @alarmphone.bsky.social had previously reported the boat. When our crew arrived, the boat was already taking on water, and the people had no life jackets.

Wednesday noon, our crew assisted 71 people in distress in a heavily overcrowded rubber boat. Among them women and children. The boat was at severe risk of capsizing with waves around one meter high. When NADIR arrived, the people on board were extremely exhausted, many seasick, some with fever.

On Sunday at noon, our crew spotted 56 people, including several minors, crowded onto a rubber boat that was taking on water. Those on board reported that the situation was rapidly worsening and becoming life-threatening as the waves and panic increased.

🚨Breaking: our fears became true. Yesterday, three people were shot by Libyan militias, one of them is in a coma. The so-called Libyan coastguard is financed and trained by the EU. We hope strongly that everyone will survive. More info:

Last night, 175 people on two boats were supported by NADIR with help of Merchant vessel IVY1. Our crew responded to a distress case alerted to by @alarmphone.bsky.social and soon encountered 75 people on an overcrowded wooden double decker who had departed from Libya 3 days earlier.

NADIR assisted 243 people over the weekend and found a fourth boat empty.

On Saturday at noon, our crew spotted 78 people on an unseaworthy wooden boat. After stabilising the situation, the survivors were evacuated by the Italian coastguard.

❕Empty boats, shattered rights❕

On monday, following a Mayday Relay from EAGLE2, reporting 50 people on an overcrowded boat, NADIR headed south to support. Upon arrival, our crew observed a high-speed vessel from the so-called Libyan Coast Guard. Radar showed it stop briefly before turning east.

Harassment at sea following an evacuation of 44 people‼️
On Monday evening, our crew evacuated 44 people from an overcrowded rubber boat in distress. Amongst them were eight minors. The survivors had no life-saving equipment, the engine was broken, and the boat had already taken on water.

This morning, NADIR overheard a Mayday Relay from a fishing vessel: 130 people on a wooden boat. Alongside @openarmsfund.bsky.social’ ASTRAL, NADIR headed to the scene. ASTRAL notified about another case: 60 people on a rubber boat. We gave life vests, but the Italian Coast Guard soon evacuated all.

Today, we mourn three young sisters, aged 9, 11, and 17, who lost their lives far too soon, drowned Friday night in a flooded, overcrowded boat. Their mother, brother, aunt, and friends survived, but now face the unbearable grief of losing them in such a senseless way. Our thoughts are with them.

🖤 Three sisters aged 9, 11 and 17 drowned in the #CentralMed, another person remains missing. Our NADIR crew rescued 65 people from a flooded, overcrowded rubber boat that same night, on saturday early morning.

The group had departed Zuwara, Libya, the day before.

Yesterday, the aircraft #Seabird2 alerted #Nadir to a distress case. An hour later, our crew found the boat drifting in high waves, with 12 people on board. They had departed from Libya the day before. Nadir arrived just in time as the so-called Libyan Coast Guard was around.

🚨 URGENT: Italian authorities have just detained our monitoring aircraft Seabird. The italian government is trying to eliminate us as witnesses from the Mediterranean.
They want to hide what’s happening at sea.
We won’t let them. We will keep you informed.

Around 11 a.m. yesterday, our crew spotted 26 people in distress in the Maltese SAR region. Three women, 23 men –including three minors – had left from Sabratha, Libya, two days earlier in an unseaworthy and overcrowded rubber boat without life-saving equipment, struggling in two-metre waves.

We grieve 4 lives -1 reported drowned, 3 missing, likely taken by the sea. Not lost to fate, but to a violent border regime. The EU turns the Med. into a mass grave, and calls it policy.
Our thoughts are with the loved ones who lost a friend. With the families who lost a son, a husband, a brother.

Yesterday, our airplane Seabird spotted a boat in distress, at least 14 persons went overboard. @resqship.bsky.social assisted & found 12 in the water. We searched for survivors unsuccessfully. The 2nd gruesome case of neglect we're witnessing this week: EU authorities are a complete nightmare.

‪🔴Breaking: People survived 6 days at sea in rough weather, several still missing! This afternoon NADIR located a boat in high risk of sinking, after being informed by the plane of @sea-watch.org. The 36 ppl. including babies & pregnant women had been at sea for 6 days in up to 2m high waves. [1/2]

🌊The NADIR is back on operation! After a second arbitrary detention and weather delays, our sailing vessel finally left port today. We're heading to the central Med., where independent monitoring is urgently needed. Authorities may try to stop us—but we won't be stopped. ✊

🛫 Covering rebooking costs for our crews' travels 🛬

⛽️ Help us cover €1.395 in fuel costs! ⛽️

After NADIR’s detention, Italian authorities diverted our ship to Porto Empedocle. The added journeys – back and forth – meant unexpected fuel expenses.
