Forty-nine refugees and migrants who were rescued from the Mediterranean Sea last week have been picked up by the Italian coastguard and brought to the Italian island of Lampedusa.
The Louise Michel, which is funded by the British street artist Banksy, had issued the call late on Friday, saying its seaworthiness was compromised after rescuing 219 people across two days.
