Italy has allowed 10 rescued migrants on the Sea-Watch 3 ship to leave the vessel.
Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini Italy on Saturday gave permission for 10 migrants to leave the German Sea-Watch 3 rescue boat, following.
Among the 10 were two pregnant women, three minors and two sick men. The group was allowed to disembark on the Mediterranean island of Lampedusa, which lies between the Italian mainland and the north African coast.
The Sea-Watch 3 rescued more than 50 migrants drifting in an inflatable dinghy off the coast of Libya on Wednesday, but Italy's populist government did not allow the ship to enter an Italian port.
Earlier on Saturday, the Italian coast guard had conducted a medical check on board, according to Sea-Watch spokesman Ruben Neugebauer.
The boat is currently waiting at sea near the Italian island of Lampedusa. Several German cities had offered on Friday to take in the migrants, but it is the federal government in Berlin that decides in such matters.
