Nearly 1,700 Migrants Reach Italian Island
Nearly 1,700 migrants reached the Italian island of Lampedusa in the last 48 hours, overcrowding the local reception point. The tiny Sicilian island lies just about 150 kilometers from the Tunisian coast. Footage obtained from Sky Italia captured Sunday showed dozens of migrants aboard an Italian Coast Guard vessel being helped off the boat and onto an awaiting mini-van. Figures from the Italian Interior Ministry show that more than 28,000 migrants have arrived in Italy since the start of the year, that's almost four times those who arrived over the same period in 2022.
