Malta finally allows migrants on board the Alan Kurdi to disembark after a ten day stand-off
A member of the SOS Mediterranee search and rescue team speaks to a member of the German group Resqship before migrants rescued by the Josefa are to be onto a dinghy to be taken onto the humanitarian ship Ocean Viking, in the Mediterranean Sea, late yesterday
MALTA has finally agreed this evening to allow an NGO migrant rescue ship with five survivors on board to enter its ports, putting an end to yet another humanitarian stand-off in the Mediterranean Sea.
Ten days ago, the Alan Kurdi — a vessel operated by the German charity Sea Eye — rescued 13 young men from a flimsy wooden boat in the central Mediterranean inside waters that Malta is supposed to operate search and rescue missions in.
However, the Maltese authorities refused to allow the ship to enter its ports and the Alan Kurdi remained in international waters near the island nation.
