Mediterranea Saving Humans civil
society migrants platform said Monday some 100,000 migrants have
now arrived in Italy this year, as it had expected.
"In Italy we are now at one hundred thousand arrivals, we had
foreseen it. But these are not unmanageable numbers. The real
problem is that there is a lack of a serious reception policy",
said chief Luca Casarini.
He was speaking from Trapani where its rescue ship Mare Jonio is
docked waiting "for the last inspections on August 22nd. Then we
will be ready to start again".
Almost 20,000 men, women and children have died trying to reach
Italy this year.
