A charity-run rescue boat carrying 33 migrants was allowed to dock and disembark on the southern Italian island of Lampedusa early Friday, while two more NGO vessels with more than 500 people aboard remained at sea, SIA refers to foreign media.
The migrants had been rescued from a small wooden boat in the Mediterranean two days ago and taken on board the Louise Michel rescue ship.
Some 261 people remained aboard the Humanity 1 vessel, the charity SOS Humanity said, including around 30 women, some of them pregnant, and over 90 minors, most of them unaccompanied.
In spite of help requests sent to both Italy and Malta during the rescue operations, "no coordination by the rescue coordination centres took place," the NGO said in a statement.
