Pressure has mounted on Italy after the UN and the European Commission called on Rome to end to its stand-off with a migrant rescue boat.
The Sea-Watch 3 reached the Italian island of Lampedusa on Wednesday with 42 rescued migrants.
But charity Sea-Watch says authorities have prevented it from docking and no other country has come forward to help.
It comes as Italy’s ruling parties attempt to clamp down on migrant rescue boats entering Italian waters.
