The German migrant rescue NGO Sea
Eye ship Alan Kurdi on Wednesday rescued 64 migrants off Libya,
the NGO said.
"They're all safe aboard our ship," it said.
The alert went out Wednesday morning when the migrants phoned
the Alarm Phone service saying their boat was in trouble off
Zuwarah.
The migrants reportedly include 10 women and six children.
The ship should now go to Hamburg after requesting a safe
port, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said.
"Ship flying German flag, German NGO, German owner and
captain from Hamburg. It intervened in Libyan waters and is
asking for a safe port. Ok, let it go to Hamburg," said Salvini.
