Italy will allow a ship belonging to the German aid organization SOS Humanity with 179 migrants on board to dock in a port in Sicily for health examinations.

Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani says that sick people, pregnant women or women with small children will be accepted.

– Those who do not meet those criteria will be removed from our territorial waters with the ship, he says.
