   During the night, the NGO - created by a network of activists to alert sea rescue - had tweeted about the boat adrift yesterday among the waves in the central Mediterranean: "We have lost contact with the 47 people and we are very "worry! The so-called Libyan coast guard told us that the Italian authorities would coordinate the rescue but they are not giving any information. People must be rescued and brought to safety in Europe now".

"However," she added, "we fear it will bring people back to Libya. They must be brought to a safe place, not in the terrible conditions of Libya."

   The latest information released yesterday evening by Alarm Phone was worrying: "The people on board are in a panic. They are screaming on the phone and we have difficulty communicating with them. They must be rescued without further delay!!!"
