The NGO Sea Eye ship has on board 13 people rescued in the middle of the sea, including 8 minors, rescued from a wooden boat tracked in Sar Maltese waters while trying to reach Lampedusa. "Get them off immediately", asks Zingaretti for the Alan Kurdi migrants and for the other 34 on the Ionian Sea. But the ban on entry into Italian waters signed yesterday by the Interior Minister Matteo Salvini for the Alan Kurdi ship of the German NGO Sea Eye, with the signature also of the ministers Elisabetta Trenta and Danilo Toninelli feeds the political clash.Clash on migrants
The clash on migrants inflames politics even in the midst of negotiations for the Count-bis, with the Ionian Sea still standing in front of 13 miles in front of the Lampedusa with 34 people on board and now also with the situation of the "Alan Kurdi" in surplace. "We don't want to see these things anymore. It's not human. Get these human beings down immediately", asked the secretary of the Democratic Party, Nicola Zingaretti, attacking the ban imposed by the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Salvini. "Reopening the ports is not a spite to me but to the Italians," replied the League leader from Pinzolo.
Stall in the middle of the sea

"We are increasingly concerned about the psychological conditions of the survivors, the 28 men and the six women who stayed on board with us. Have they already gone through hell, how long can they hold on, stuck in the middle of the sea?" the Mediterranean NGO Saving Humans on Facebook.
The appeal of the Sea Eye
"These people need to land. They can no longer wait", is the NGO's appeal that has warned the authorities from "committing even more serious violations of the law", threatening a complaint if the situation is not resolved soon.
The Archbishop of Agrigento
The cardinal archbishop of Agrigento, Francesco Montenegro joined the appeal, recalling from the columns of the "Avvenire" newspaper that "before any political dispute there are human rights that must always be defended. The primacy of the dignity of human person for the Catholic Church and for any civil cohabitation is an indispensable principle. By virtue of this principle, please let the migrants of the Ionian Sea come down! ". The prelate joined "with strength" in the appeal of Mediterranea, which is in "a very serious humanitarian situation due to the lack of drinking water and the constantly worsening sea conditions".
Mini landings
But there is also the need to take into account the wave of mini landings that have reached the Italian coasts. There was a new landing of migrants in Lampedusa where 21 Tunisians arrived during the night. The police traced the migrants along the coast of the Sicilian island, shortly after the makeshift landing, and took them to the reception center. The 21 Tunisians had arrived in Lampedusa during the night aboard a sailboat, at the limit of navigational possibilities, which the police are still looking for. The migrants immediately after the landing had scattered, but the police traced them along the coastal streets of the island. Some have been treated for minor excoriations due perhaps to landing in a rocky area. And the mini landings yesterday had also affected the shores of Sardinia where, on the advice of the citizens, around forty migrants, all male, adult and in good health, were found in various locations on the coast. bathing areas. Investigators say they are people of Algerian nationality. The migrants were detained on the spot and, at the end of the formalities, they were taken to the reception center in Monastir.
