The crew sent out a distress call asking Italian and Maltese coast guards for help, stating on Twitter that one person was dead and Louise Michel had become disabled by a life raft towed to its side. The next day, the Italian coast guard arrived and evacuated those most in need of assistance: 32 women, 13 children and 4 men were transferred to a coast guard vessel from Lampedusa. By that time, Louise Michels fellow rescue ships Sea-Watch 4 and Mare Ionio were also on the way to assist. After transferring all migrants over to other vessels, Louise Michel headed for the Balearic Islands, arriving in Mallorca in the first week of September. On 22 October 2020 the activists made public that they are not allowed to continue their mission, because their registration is being disputed.
