On Lampedusa, Red Cross takes over grim migrant hub FMTNews FMTWorld
Efforts are being made to speed up migrant transfers off Lampedusa to ease pressure on the reception centre which often houses over 3,000.
On June 1, the government brought in the Italian Red Cross, which has vowed to provide a more dignified welcome to the tens of thousands who arrive each year from North Africa, hoping for a new life in Europe. Famed for its white sand beaches, Lampedusa was for decades best known as a tourist destination and still draws huge crowds each summer.
When the weather is fine and the sea calm, they are called out almost every day to meet the migrant boats approaching the coast. More than 1,000 migrants have died this year so far in the central Mediterranean, according to the UN migration agency. Psychologists are also on hand to help the most vulnerable, although a requirement for migrant centres to provide such services was recently removed by the new right-wing government in Rome.
