Open Arms rescue ship left stranded in the Mediterranean with over 70 migrants onboard after Italian authorities denied port access
Migrants rest on board a NGO Proactiva Open Arms rescue boat in the central Mediterranean Sea, November 24, 2019.
Open Arms Mission Chief Ricardo Gatti, who is on board the ship, said the organisation has requested to land in Italy and Malta but has been denied permission. Italy suggested that the ship should dock at the Libyan port of Tripoli, he said. The Italian government has taken a hard line against immigration and has previously resisted attempts by rescue ships to land migrants in its territory.
Three were found at sea and two more on a beach, a Coast Guard statement said. Searches were continuing but bad weather was complicating the effort.
