The SOS Mediterranée ship, Ocean Viking, has 234 people on board, including 55 minors, 43 of whom are unaccompanied. All persons will be allowed to land in French ports, according to French interior ministry sources. This is the no selection that has been carried out by the Italian authorities who let the vulnerable go and let the healthier migrants stay on his two ships in Catania.
