From 10 August, charter flights will resume for the repatriation of Tunisians who land in Italy and who were interrupted during the lockdown. The Interior Ministry said this by pointing out that the flights will respect the agreements currently in force with the government of Tunis, i.e. two planes per week each with a maximum of 40 people on board, therefore a total of 80 migrants per week.

 In fact, some charter flights have already been carried out in the last few weeks in which the influx of migrants from Tunisia has exploded, with dozens of daily landings in Lampedusa.
    From 16 July, in fact, 5 flights have taken place which have allowed the total repatriation of 95 Tunisians. The government of Tunis has in fact asked that on these planes - as on the one already scheduled for Thursday - there were no more than 20 citizens per flight. From 10 August, however, we will return to the terms provided for in the agreement.
    From June 1 to August 3, the Interior Ministry says, a total of 266 people were repatriated: 116 in Tunisia and 103 in Albania.
