Ocean Viking to quay in Italy with 573 migrants

The migrants went ashore late Saturday night, the organization SOS Méditerranée, which operates the Norwegian-owned ship, states in a press release on Sunday.

Among the 573 migrants on board are 369 men, women and children who were rescued from a fragile wooden boat that was about to capsize in the Mediterranean on Sunday 4 July.

According to the UN, more than 740 migrants have drowned on their journey to Europe across the Mediterranean so far this year.
