MIGRANT SHIP REACHES ITALY...

A ship abandoned by its crew off Italy with 360
migrants on board has arrived at the Italian
port of Corigliano Calabro, the coastguard says.
Earlier, rescuers boarded the Ezadeen after a
passenger raised the alarm as it drifted in the
Mediterranean.
The ship, sailing under the flag of Sierra
Leone, lost power in rough seas off the south-
east coast of Italy.
A total of 796 migrants were rescued from
another ship found abandoned without any
crew earlier in the week.
Italy’s coastguard tweeted to say the Ezadeen
had arrived into port shortly before 23:00 local
time (22:00 GMT).
The coastguard commander in Corigliano
Calabro, Francesco Perrotti, told the BBC all
the migrants on board were from Syria.
He said they were being taken by bus to other
parts of Italy. He described the migrants’
physical condition as relatively good after their
three-day ordeal.
Earlier coastguard Cmdr Filippo Marini told
reporters that the Ezadeen was towed by an
Icelandic ship that is part of the EU Frontex
border control mission.
