Alto Adige to accept 300-400 migrants

(ANSA) - Bolzano, September 2 - Alto Adige is to take in 300 to 400 migrants bound for Bavaria after the Italian government agreed Wednesday to assist the German region with a massive wave arriving from the Balkans.
    Alto Adige has offered to host the migrants for a few days "as a temporary measure to allow Bavaria to regroup and face the imminent emergency", according to a note from the Province of Bolzano.
    The provincial government said the refugees would be housed in gyms, where adequate hygienic facilities and infrastructure already function, while Italy's Civil Protection and local non-profit groups will be called in to manage the improvised shelters.
