Die Crew des Rettungsschiffes Ocean Viking hat 116 Überlebende von der Gasplattform #Miskar gerettet und sicher in Italien an Land gebracht.

Last week the crew of the rescue ship Ocean Viking rescued 116 survivors from the #Miskar gas platform and brought them safely ashore in Italy.

While we are grateful to the #Miskar platform crew, described by survivors as 'doing their best to take care of them', we denounce the competent authorities who failed to coordinate a timely rescue for these women, men, children and babies in distress.

They are now finally safe.

After sailing 1100km for 3,5 days from the #Miskar offshore platform, we finally disembarked 116 survivors in Marina di Carrara, the Place of Safety assigned by Italian authorities.

Among them, more than a third were #unaccompanied #minors, who are particularly vulnerable.

"He was my brother. He hit his head while we were trying to get on the platform, and then he fell into the water. It was dark, and we couldn't save him." 

Testimony of one of the 32 survivors stranded on the #Miskar platform and rescued by our rescue ship #Aurora.

„Er war mein Bruder. Er schlug sich den Kopf an, als er versuchte, auf die Plattform zu kommen, und dann fiel er ins Wasser. Es war dunkel & wir konnten ihn nicht retten.“ 

Aussage eines der 32 Überlebenden, die auf #Miskar gestrandet & von der #Aurora gerettet wurden.

🚨 #BreakingNews! The #UnitedNations Human Rights Committee has, for the first time, issued #interimmeasures directing Malta to coordinate an immediate #search-and-rescue operation for 32 individuals in distress near the #Miskar gas platform.

🔴 Seit heute Morgen ist die @sea-watch.org #AuroraSAR von #Lampedusa aus zur Plattform #Miskar unterwegs, auf der 32 Menschen seit 4 Tagen gestrandet sind. Sie brauchen Hilfe, niemand rettet sie und die Plattform ist nicht darauf eingerichtet, sich um sie zu kümmern.

🚨 "Help us, or we'll end up like the others."

32 migrants are stranded on the #Miskar oil platform in the #Mediterranean, with no food and no rescue in sight.

They've been at sea for days, freezing and starving. Their journey to safety must not end like this.
