Migrants stuck on rescue ship for week
Nearly a week after they were first rescued from six crowded rubber dinghies adrift in the Mediterranean Sea, hundreds of migrants have found their journey is still not over. After their rescue ship was turned away by Italy and Malta, the group was offered refuge in Valencia, Spain. But bad weather has further delayed the 629 refugees — including dozens of children, several pregnant women and others in need of medical attention — from their destination. Doctors Without Borders says it hopes the ship will arrive in Spain today.
