UN refugee agency calls on European states to take in more than 500 migrant rescues stranded on two boats in Mediterranean
Migrants are seen on August 9, 2019 aboard the Open Arms Spanish humanitarian boat as it cruises in the Mediterranean Sea. Open Arms has been carrying 121 migrants for a week in the central Mediterranean awaiting a safe port to dock, after it was denied entry by Italy and Malta.
The migrants are aboard two ships chartered by humanitarian aid groups, but Italy's anti-migrant government is denying them access to its ports. Salvini, the leader of the far-right League, who has seen his popularity in Italy soar since he took office last year and launched a fierce anti-immigration crackdown, said the boats were not Rome's problem.
However, he also said Europe needed to forge a "wider" policy to handle migrant arrivals from Africa. Open Arms has called for the European Union to coordinate the re-distribution of the migrants around the bloc.
