Brusells, August 27 (RHC)-- More than 350 migrants stranded on a rescue ship in the Mediterranean Sea were allowed to disembark, but only after six European countries agreed to accept them. 

The Ocean Viking, which is run by French charities Doctors Without Borders and SOS Méditerranée, had been in a tense standoff for two weeks as it remained in international waters after being denied permission to dock in Italy or Malta. 

Most of the passengers on the Ocean Viking were Black and from Sudan.  They had been rescued in four separate missions.  The ship was carrying around 100 children, most of them unaccompanied. The migrants will now be relocated to Germany, France, Romania, Ireland, Portugal and Luxembourg.
