About 140 people, on two different boats, are in difficulty in the Mediterranean. The news is Alarm Phone. A first boat with a failed engine, in the Maltese Sar area, has 95 migrants on board and is embarking water. "The situation on board - says Alarm Phone - is critical. Maltese and Italian authorities are informed but are not responding". Another boat, with 45 people on board, is always located in the Sar Maltese area. "Again the authorities are informed but they are not responding," stresses the organization. "We are dying", the desperate cry of the people on board the first boat. "They say they cannot remove the water from the boat because it is overcrowded. They shout: 'we are dying!'", Writes Alarm Phone. "The Maridive230 merchant ship is about 20 miles from the boat and could be ordered to help - reads a tweet - but the Maltese armed forces are not responding to our calls".
