There are also women and children. Almost all mini-landings with small boats that managed to evade the controls (ANSA)


It is a barrage of landings in Lampedusa (Agrigento) where, in just over 24 hours, 618 migrants have landed, including women and minors. The various groups were rescued by the men of the Guardia di Finanza and the Harbor Master's Office. About twenty landings recorded so far. All - except the two exceptional cases with 95 and as many as 267 people - were mini-landings: small boats that managed to evade the controls and land directly on the island. The transfers from the Imbriacola district hotspot have now collapsed. A hundred migrants left the island with the scheduled ferry to Porto Empedocle (Agrigento), another 50 should be transferred in the evening with the regular ferry.
