Italy claims EU agrees deal to take in migrants on the Ocean Viking but crew says it's not been given a port
A Nigerian 9-month-pregnant woman is evacuated by a Maltese Armed Forces helicopter from aboard the Ocean Viking in Mediterranean Sea, Wednesday
THE NGO migrant rescue ship Ocean Viking with 82 migrants on board remains at sea without a port of safety despite Italy declaring yesterday that it had reached a deal with EU countries to take them in.
Yesterday afternoon, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said his new government, along with the Democratic Party, had reached a deal with “several EU countries” that will “ensure a rapid and suitable solution” for the migrants on board the ship.
The ship, which is operated by French charities Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and SOS Mediterranee, rescued 84 people in several operations off the coast of Libya in the past three days and is currently between Malta and the Italian island of Lampedusa.
