Some 62 Pakistani migrants
landed on an island off the Salento area of Puglia on Friday,
local sources said.
The migrants, including nine minors, landed on the island of
Sant'Andrewa near Gallipoli.
With the exception of two minors, who were taken to hospital,
the others were found in good conditions of health, albeit
exhausted after 14 days at sea from north Africa.
Two suspected migrant smugglers were arrested.
