Lampedusa again in emergency after the disembarkation, in a few hours, of 640 migrants who arrived on 17 boats. Another 179 were rescued while traveling on 4 carts.
In total there were twenty-one landings, 819 people assisted in 24 hours. Previously there had been relative calm due to bad sea conditions.
The harbor master's and financial police patrol boats struggle to collect all the SOS and rescue the many small boats that are reported in the Sar area or in the waters in front of the island.
All the migrants were taken to the contrada Imbriacola hotspot where, at dawn, there were 1,094 guests, compared to just under 400 places available. Yesterday morning, 315 people were present in the first reception facility.
