The ship Ocean Viking has moored to Pozzallo, the safe harbor identified by the Interior Ministry where landings will be landed 104 migrants, who spent the last 11 days in limbo, without knowing where they would finally land. But not everyone will remain in Italy, under the Malta Agreement, 70 of them will be relocated between Germany is France.
The 104 migrants on board the ship of the Sos Mediterranee and Medici Senza Frontiere organizations had been rescued on 18 October, and from that day they had been waiting for a signal from Italy. Among them there are 41 minors, 27 males and 14 females: almost half are less than 15 years old and there are also two very young children.
Ocean Viking, Msf thanks Italy, France and Germany
"We are relieved and appreciate that France, Germany and Italy have finally found a solution to relocate the 104 survivors aboard the Ocean Viking and the 90 people aboard the Alan Kurdi", is the message entrusted to Twitter from the head of mission of Doctors Without Borders, Michael Fark, which emphasizes: "After days stranded in the sea and the terrible conditions suffered in Libya and lasted all their journey, they will finally be brought to safety". With a final warning: "These long and inhuman expectations must end".

The Viminale in reality, after the conclusion of the relocation procedure in the framework of the Malta pre-agreement – has identified a safe port only for Ocean Viking, the MSF ship and Sos Mediterranee; still no indication for the ship Alan Kurdi, of the NGO Sea-Eye, which had also claimed to have been threatened at sea by Libyan vessels.
Alan Kurdi and Open Arms, another 105 migrants still stuck
But if a solution has been found for Ocean Viking, the same cannot be said for two other ships; there Alan Kurdi, with on board 90 people, and the Open Arms with 15. The first, which had been threatened by Libyan patrol boats, has been in the sea for more than two days, waiting to figure out which port to aim for, while the second was added only yesterday, when it placed a signal arrived 24 hours earlier, saving 15 migrants. Among these is also the small Wasim, a child on the ship who turned one year old, as told by the Open Arms Twitter profile. He too is among the 15 people saved by an inflated raft that was about to sink
It's called Wasim.
Today it is 1 year old.
He spent the last two days of his life on a boat in the #MedToday he was born again on #OpenArms.
No child, no one, should risk their lives to reach a safe place.
Happy birthday, Wasim! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/k2jjbOvsLd– Open Arms IT (@openarms_it) October 29, 2019
