The Galaxy ferry has also left Porto Empedocle, set to board 500 more migrants and head towards Porto Empedocle. Additionally, the ship Lampedusa will transfer 448 migrants, expected to dock at Cala Pisana at 5 pm and then sail to Trapani. Four military flights will also transport a total of 280 migrants to Comiso, Pisa, Bari, and Venice, with 70 migrants in each flight.
