Authorities say Italian navy and coast guard search teams rescued around 800 migrants early Friday.
"They are very tired, dehydrated, they vomited of course, but the general conditions were good. Many children, almost 60 to 70, and 15 to 18 pregnant women. It is still difficult to count them," said Ludovico Pietrosanti, a doctor from the Order of Malta.
Several dozen Eritreans were rescued Friday south of Lampedusa, and two coast guard boats brought more than 200 migrants to safety.
