On Saturday, two rescue ships run by the Germans waited off the coast of
Sicily with nearly 300 rescued people on board. One of the ships was
granted permission to disembark its most vulnerable migrants, while the
other’s request for a safe port went unanswered despite “critical”
conditions on board.
The decision made late on Friday by Italy’s far-right led government to
block its ports to humanitarian relief ships has created chaos and
confusion.
