italian media: Portugal will take eight and Luxembourg two, Italian media reported, according to The Japan Times. After disembarkation, the Ocean Viking should head back to her search and rescue mission in the Central Mediterranean, because people continue to die in these waters where no rescue ship is currently present in the area, Nicola Stalla, the vessel's search and rescue coordinator, said on Saturday. Italian authorities identified and carried out medical checks on the sub-Saharan African migrants after they disembarked overnight on southern island Lampedusa after more than six days at sea. ; Under an ad hoc European deal, Italy, France and Germany will take 24 migrants each. European leaders are trying to thrash out an automatic mechanism that would see rescued migrants who are brought to Italy or Malta swiftly redistributed around Europe. Italy's new government, sworn in last week, is forging its own migrant policy after 14 months of former interior minister Matteo Salvini's hardline stance against charity vessels and migrants. It is not yet clear how many countries will sign up to the scheme.
