Rescue boats stuck in Mediterranean: Migrant rescue NGO asks France, Spain, Greece for help

Описание: Some 1000 people, including many children are standed at sea after Italy and Malta failed to provide support. The migrants are aboard NGO-run ships. Rescue group SOS Mediterranee said it had called on the governments of France, Greece and Spain to help. The new Italian government, which campaigned on a promise to "stop arrivals", says the charity vessels sail under the flags of specific countries, which consequently have a duty to take in some of those rescued. FRANCE 24's correspondent in Rome, Seema Gupta, explains.
