After the 12 that occurred during the night, in the morning the soldiers of the Guardia di Finanza rescued 25 Tunisians near the Madonnina pier, including 3 minors who had just arrived with a 7-meter boat.



At 12 miles from the coast, a Fiamme Gialle patrol boat hooked up a 6-meter boat carrying 18 Tunisians on board.

Following other 4 landings, with a total of 77 Tunisians. 



Three small boats blocked between a mile from the beach of Isola dei Conigli and almost under the coast. These boats appear to have sailed from the ports of Djerba, Sfax and Chebba. Finally, a small boat of 5 meters - the nineteenth of the day - was docked in the waters in front of Lampedusa by the Vitali ship of the Guardia di Finanza.
