Italy has been left "very alone"
on the issue of migrant relocation, German Chancellor Angela
Merkel said Wednesday. Speaking at the Labour 20 meeting of the
G20, she said "Germany has pledged to take in 500 refugees every
month, we're trying to do our bit." She said thousands of
refugees were reaching Italian shores every day, "for the EU it
is very deplorable that we do not have a joint system of
redistribution and that Italy is left very alone with this
issue". Merkel added that conditions in migrant camps in Libya
were "frightful". Frontex said Tuesday that 37,200 migrants
arrived in Italy through the Central Mediterranean route in the
first four months of 2017, up 33% with respect to the same
period last year.
