The ship Sea Eye 4 arrived in the port of Trapani in Sicily. It is transporting eight hundred migrants and refugees rescued in a series of operations, from Tuesday to Thursday, in the central Mediterranean.
In all, the survivors include two hundred minors, as well as pregnant women. The volunteers and employees of the NGO to which the ship belongs are overwhelmed, after five days of uninterrupted care of immigrants and refugees.
The “desperate of the sea” are going to undergo a medical examination, a coronavirus test and then be transferred to two special floating ships, for the quarantine period.
“Many of the survivors,” say Sea Eye officials, “have obvious injuries on their bodies from their stay in Libyan detention centers.”
Sea Eye President Gordon Isler thanked Italy but also called on the European Union to reprimand Malta for not coordinating rescue operations and for not helping sinking vessels in danger of sinking.
Lega secretary Matteo Salvini, in a post on the internet, raises his voice again and writes: Do they think that everything is fine?
