The humanitarian ship "Aquareos", which returned off the coast of Libya on Saturday, said it was continuing its mission after rescuing 141 people on Friday in two different operations.
"Medium-sized" and "Médecins sans Frontières" on Twitter said that the ship "remains in the search and rescue zone ready to assist any boat that faces problems."
Italian Interior minister Mathieu Salvini, who leads the ultra-right-wing party, said in a telephone interview with the channel "Rai" that "Aquareos", owned by a German company flying the flag of Gibraltar, will never see the Port of Italy.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, in a videotape broadcast Saturday on Facebook, praised the significant decline in the number of immigrants arriving in the Italian coast in the first two months of his government´s handover of power (-85 percent compared to June June and July 2017), with an emphasis on " The protection of the rights of refugees and asylum-seekers should not be neglected and a decent reception guaranteed. "
During Friday´s operation, the ship rescued 116 people, including 67 unaccompanied minors, mostly from Somalia and Eritrea.
According to the two organizations, their "crowded" wooden boat, which was not transporting water or food, was 24 nautical miles from the Libyan coastline north of Abu Kmash.
On Friday morning, the ship rescued 25 migrants off the coast of Libya, who were riding a wooden boat 26 nautical miles north of the Libyan coast.
In June June, Akareos 630 rescued immigrants off Libya. Italian Interior Minister Mathieu Salvini, the leader of the association, refused to allow them to disembark in Italy as well as the Government of Malta. The ship was then docked in a Spanish port. Then the Aquareos stayed in Marseille for a month at a technical station.
The Italian Coast Guard announced that a sailboat with 61 Pakistanis coming from Turkey and raising the US flag had been intercepted overnight near the eastern coast of Sicily.
Immigrants who went down in Sicily said they each paid 5,000 euros for the trip. Two Georgians were suspected of having organized the order.
Also, 72 Iraqi and Afghan Kurds, including 12 minors and 29 women, arrived Friday at the beach of Calabria after they boarded a sailing boat flying the flag of Turkey.
