A representative for the German NGO
that runs the Dutch-flagged migrant-rescue ship the Lifeline
said Monday that it will ask France to offer it a port of
safety.
The ship is in limbo after Italy last week said its rescue of
over 200 migrants off the coast of Libya was illegal and Malta
refused to allow it to dock there too.
"We have been refused by Germany, Holland and Italy," Axel
Steier, a representative of the Mission Lifeline NGO, told
France's RTL radio.
"Today we'll ask France to receive us.
"If we don't get a response, we'll head north, to Spain or
France".
