Stranded Migrant Ship Runs Out Of Food In Mediterranean; Italian Rescue Vessel To Take Refugees To Spain

Hours after refusing Spain's offer to dock, an NGO carrying 629 shipwrecked North African migrants says that Italy has finally agreed to address the refugees stuck in the Mediterranean amid a dire food situation and bad weather preventing them from diverting to Spain- according to a Tuesday tweet by the group  SOS Mediterranee.

 Italian authorities will transfer the migrants aboard a search and rescue vessel and take them to Valencia, reads the tweet.
