Some 30 migrants have not received a landing permit at the moment The minors on board have been the first to disembark The adults have stayed on board to undergo a medical examination More than 140 migrants have left the rescue ship ‘Humanity 1’ this Sunday, from the German NGO SOS Humanity, in the Sicilian port of Catania, as confirmed by a spokesman for the organization, after receiving last night permission to enter the port on the east coast of the Italian island. The minors on board have been the first to disembark while the adults have stayed on board to undergo a medical examination. Some 30 migrants have not yet received a landing permit. According to SOS Humanity, a man fainted and had to be taken ashore. The measures are in line with the policy recently announced by the Italian Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, a member of the government led by far-right Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who had promised to toughen national migration policy during his campaign. Italy now allows the disembarkation of injured men, women and children, in general, but wants to hold accountable the countries in which the rescue boats are registered. In the case of ‘Humanity 1’, that country is Germany. The Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani, has called this Sunday for a solution at the level of the European Union to the problem of immigrants who arrive by boat. In statements to ‘Il Messaggero’, Tajani explained that it is correct to accept the sick, women and children, although he acknowledged that the Government has reinforced its identification policy. “We cannot turn the Mediterranean into a cemetery, but we have to know who is on board, where they came from and where they were picked up,” he said. Three other boats operated by private rescue organizations and carrying rescued migrants are stopped off the eastern coast of Sicily awaiting clearance. of a port. The ships ‘Rise Above’, ‘Geo Barents’ and ‘Ocean Viking’ carry a total of 900 rescued migrants.
