Migrants are looked after on board the Aquarius in the Mediterranean

Hundreds of migrants are stuck on board the rescue ship Aquarius after Italy and Malta refused to accept the vessel. The Spanish government has offered to let it dock in the port city of Valencia, but the long-term fate of those on board remains uncertain.

The migrants have been given blankets and sleeping bags, and volunteers from the charities SOS Méditerrannée and MSF are handing out food.
