A group of migrants who had been blocked aboard a tanker in the Mediterranean for more than a month were allowed to land in Sicily, NGO Mediterranea says
The migrants had been transferred on Friday to the Italian charity ship Mare Jonio, operated by Mediterranea, after being anchored off the coast of Malta on the Maersk Etienne - operated by Maersk Tankers - since August.'Serious psycho-physical conditions'
The Maersk Etienne's crew had rescued the migrants, including a pregnant woman, on August 4 near Malta from a wooden dinghy that had been at sea for days and sank immediately after the rescue operation. "This 40-day blockage is intolerable," French NGO SOS Mediterranee said on Twitter, calling on countries of the European Union to provide a solution for almost 300 migrants aboard a ship operated by Spanish group Open Arms.
