New landing of migrants in Lampedusa.
A boat with 280 people on board and seven lifeless bodies arrived on the island of the Sicilian Channel.
The boat was spotted by the patrol boats and taken to port. Most of the people on board are from Bangladesh and Egypt.
"Another tragedy, once again we mourn innocent victims - says the mayor of Lampedusa and Linosa Totò Martello - here we continue to do our part amidst many difficulties, despite the fact that the Italian government and Europe seem to have forgotten Lampedusa and the Lampedusans. But we can't go on alone for much longer. "
