Standoff as Italy blocks 35 rescued migrants from leaving NGO ship
Another rescue ship arrived in Italy on Saturday. Humanity-1 was allowed to dock in Catania but now has been ordered to leave the Sicilian port. Its captain refuses to go until everyone on board is allowed to leave and is threatening to go to court. So far 144 people, including minors and people with health conditions, have been let off the ship. Dozens of single men were refused permission to go ashore.
