BBC: Spain will welcome hundreds of migrants to Valencia on Sunday after they were rescued from the Mediterranean Sea and turned away by Italy and Malta. Three vessels will arrive carrying 629 migrants who were rescued near Libya last weekend by the Aquarius ship.

A huge welcome banner will greet the migrants, while health officials and translators will offer support. Spain’s new socialist government has promised free healthcare and says it will investigate each asylum case.

“It is our duty to help avoid a humanitarian catastrophe and offer a safe port to these people, to comply with our human rights obligations,” Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said earlier this week. He has adopted a migrant-friendly stance since taking up his post two weeks ago.\
