01 September 2019New landing of migrants in Lampedusa where 21 Tunisians arrived during the night. The police traced the migrants along the coast of the Sicilian island, shortly after the makeshift landing, and took them to the reception center. The 21 Tunisians had arrived in Lampedusa during the night aboard a sailboat, at the limit of navigational possibilities, which the police are still looking for. The migrants immediately after the landing had scattered, but the police traced them along the coastal streets of the island. Some have been treated for minor excoriations due perhaps to landing in a rocky area.

The mini landings yesterday had also affected the shores of Sardinia where, on the recommendation of the citizens, around forty migrants, all male, adult and in good health, were found in the areas bathing. Investigators say they are people of Algerian nationality. The migrants were detained on the spot and, at the end of the formalities, they were taken to the reception center in Monastir.
