Regensburg saves: Collected over 30,000 euros for sea rescue!

It is currently bubbling in the donation landscape of Regensburg! The "Regensburg saved" campaign, an initiative of the association Sea-Eye In cooperation with the city of Regensburg, over 30,000 euros has collected within one month. This is particularly gratifying, because the city doubles every donation up to a total amount of 30,000 euros if the funds enter into the end of the year. A clear sign that the Regensburgers pull together to support civilian sea rescue in the Mediterranean.

The campaign runs from September 1st to December 31, 2025 and aims to secure the use of the Sea-Eye 5 rescue ship. The civil rescue workers are currently faced with cuts in state grants, which endangers the implementation of their essential surveillance and rescue operations. It is all the more important that the population comes together and shows that the life rescue of people on the heart is important to her.

A strong sign of solidarity

The unbroken support of the Regensburg is also evident in the donation doses of local gastronomy. These stop until December 31, 2025 to continue to contribute to the financing of the project. Already in the first phase of the campaign, the city of Regensburg took over the sponsorship for the ship, which again illustrates how seriously you see humanitarian responsibility here.

Unfortunately, the situation in the Mediterranean remains dramatic: an average of six people lose their lives every day trying to reach Europe. Every day, countless people risk their lives while organizations like SOS Humanity Everything is to save those affected. Your latest missions show how тIERICH urgently help is needed. On October 05, around 34 survivors and tragically also two corpses in the port of Porto Empedocle were brought ashore.

A look at the current missions

Here is a brief overview of the last missions of Humanity 1:

• 05.10.2025: 34 Überlebende und zwei Leichen an Land gebracht.
• 04.10.2025: Hafen von Bari als Ausschiffungsort zugewiesen.
• 30.09.2025: 29 Überlebende nach vier Tagen an Land gebracht.
• 26.09.2025: Berichte über illegale Rückführungen durch die libysche Küstenwache.

These reports illustrate the constant challenges that civil sea rescue organizations face. It is becoming increasingly clear: the support of the population is essential to cope with the humanitarian crisis that is playing in the Mediterranean.

While the donation account remains open until the end of the year, the Regensburgers have the opportunity to actively participate in saving human life. Every euro counts, and with a little solidarity and commitment, a lot can be moved. Let us all take responsibility together!
