In Italy, the Wave of Migrants Is Flowing Again

 Covid or no Covid, Italy still has to deal with the wave of migrants coming across the Mediterranean from North Africa. The photos and videos show that the overwhelming majority of migrants are men in their 20s. In the past 24 hours, approximately 1,000 have been picked up by NGO ships and delivered to  Lampedusa and other ports.

On April 21, three rubber boats carrying approximately 130 migrants capsized in the Mediterranean due to extremely choppy seas. The result was an outcry against the EU and the European border agency, Frontex, who were accused of not coming to the aid of the boats.
