Italian Minister of the Interior
Angelino Alfano said the European Union isn't "helping" Italy
sufficiently to cope with its migrant crisis.
Alfano's comments come on the heels of Tuesday's boat
tragedy where a ship carrying 400 migrants capsized, leaving at
least 14 dead off the coast of Sicily.
"Our ships were there to recover the dead and rescue
survivors. Europe is not helping us. It lets usaccommodate the
survivors", said Alfano.
He added that Italy risks becoming a "a prison for
political refugees" if greater assistance is not guaranteed.
