The NGO Sea Eye writes it in a tweet. "We will ask the competent authorities to assign us a safe haven. Geographically, Lampedusa is the closest," said Gorden Isler, spokesman for the German NGO. On board, he explains to the Frankfurter Allgemeine, there are two women, one pregnant, one newborn and two children. People say they left the Libyan city of Tagiura in the night. According to Sea-Eye migrants come from Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Mali, Congo and Cameroon.

Interior Minister Matteo Salvini signed the ban on entering Italian waters for the Alan Kurdi ship. The sources of the Interior Ministry report this. "If the NGO really cares about the health of immigrants, it can set its course towards Tunisia: if instead it thinks of coming to Italy as if nothing had happened, it has the wrong minister," says Interior Minister Matteo Salvini regarding Alan Kurdi. Currently the ship is 30 nautical miles from Libya, 60 from Tunisia, 171 from Malta and 127 from Lampedusa.

Salvini: if Alan Kurdi in our waters take possession

The ships will be requisitioned and we will go on board" also says the leader of the Lega Matteo Salvini in an interview with SkyTg24 talking about Alan Kurdi.
