According to the NGO that runs the ship, Italian officials permitted kids and others in need of urgent medical attention to disembark from a German-flagged vessel in the Sicilian port of Catania on Sunday.
Several ships carrying almost 1,000 migrants have been at sea off the coast of Italy for more than a week, awaiting permission to dock from the country’s new right-wing government.
On Friday, Italy’s Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said the German-flagged Humanity 1 ship, which had 179 passengers on board, would be permitted to release minors and anyone with health difficulties before being taken out of national seas.
