28 Dead on the Way to Mallorca: What This Shipwreck Says About Rescue in the Mediterranean

Answer

How do search-and-rescue zones affect rescue operations around Mallorca, and why can information gaps occur?

SAR zones assign responsibilities on paper, but real-time data sharing is imperfect; when a distress occurs near Algerian SAR, Spain may not have an obligation to report, which can leave only part of the story visible and hinder a full situational picture.
