Malta has allowed a group of 65 migrants rescued off Libya to disembark on its territory after picking them up from a rescue ship.
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said after talks with the European Commission and German government that all 65 would be relocated to other parts of the EU.
The migrants were brought ashore after being transferred to the Maltese navy from the Alan Kurdi rescue ship.
Two other rescue ships defied a ban by docking in Italy in recent days.
The development infuriated Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.
