A migrant reception center in Italy’s southernmost island of Lampedusa is overwhelmed as it copes with transferring to the mainland thousands of migrants who arrived on small, unseaworthy boats in a 24-hour span this week.
A woman and a child sleep outside the Lampedusa's migrant reception center, Sicily, early Thursday Sept. 14, 2023. The reception center in Italy's southernmost island of Lampedusa remained critical Thursday as it coped with transferring to the mainland thousands of migrants who arrived on small, unseaworthy boats in a 24-hour span this week.
“After a particularly challenging day like yesterday, today people are being continuously transferred,’’ said Francesca Basile of the Italian Red Cross. “The situation is certainly complex and gradually we are trying to return to normal.” On Wednesday, some migrants scuffled for food and bottles of water, according to Sicilian media. Others jumped into the sea to cool off.
Lampedusa’s mayor, Filippo Mannino, lashed out at Europe for leaving Italy alone to grapple with migrant arrivals by sea, saying it had “remained silent all these months.” He called for a structural solution to the migrant crisis, and told SKY that Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni had pledged her support in a phone call.
