Meloni government critizised for designating Ravenna as safe port for 51 rescued migrants
The Italian government has designated Ravenna as a safe port for the 'Humanity 1', which was expected to arrive on the morning of Aug 28 with 51 rescued migrants on board. The decision was communicated by the Italian Ministry of Interior to the Municipality in Emilia-Romagna on Aug 23, following the rescue of the migrants by the NGO ship. The Mayor of Ravenna, Alessandro Barattoni, recalled that this was the 24th ship of NGOs to arrive in the port in two and a half years and said, the ship would be the last one to dock in Ravenna until a national roundtable of the cities identified as having safe ports has been held in Rome. The Municipality of Ravenna had always cooperated with the Ministry and the Prefecture to assure the best logistic and organizational conditions during the arrivals, but at the same time it also always denounced the inhumanity and lack of coherence of the choices of the safe ports that are far from the sea rescue areas. Also on board the 'Humanity 1',, there were many criticisms concerning the choice of RAvenna as safe port: "Once again, Italian authorities fail to allow those rescued the right to dock at a safe and nearby port! We were assigned the port of Ravenna, which is slightly more than 1.600 kilometers from the place where we rescued 51 persons, among them approximately 10 unaccompanied minors," stated the NGO on Aug 24.

71 migrants disembarked in Ravenna
The 'Humanity 1' arrived at the port of Ravenna on March 2, 2025, after rescuing 71 migrants, including 16 unaccompanied minors and nine women, in the Central Mediterranean. The majority of the migrants came from Eritrea (51 persons) and Ethiopia (nine persons). The rest were from Nigeria, The Gambia, Sudan, Cameroon, Benin, the Ivory Coast, Niger, Mali, and Togo. The group included 46 men, 16 unaccompanied minors and nine women. Among them were three families. 50 people were transferred to nearby Bologna, 80 kilometers inland from Ravenna; the others will stay in Ravenna. The migrants had been rescued on Feb 24 from a rubber dinghy in the Mediterranean over 1,600 kilometers away from the port of Ravenna. Some survivors had burns caused by fuel; some said they were tortured in Libya and show visible signs of it. Some survivors were suffering from pulmonary infections. The NGO had asked the Italian authorities to assign them a closer port, citing the mental and physical health of the survivors on board the 'Humanity 1' and worsening weather conditions, but their request had not been granted.
