Migrants from one of four rescue boats that Italy had blocked from docking have been allowed to disembark after a week at sea, the charity that operates the vessel said.
A total of 89 people on board the Rise Above were allowed ashore.
But people remain on three other rescue boats as Rome vows to halt irregular migrants crossing the Mediterranean.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has said she wants to stop people traffickers “deciding who enters Italy”.
Her right-wing government has been criticized for denying safe port to the rescue boats
