31 August 2021 New landings in Lampedusa, where 38 other migrants arrived during the night, who were on board two small boats.

On the first boat, rescued about 17 miles south of the islet of Lampione, there were 18 migrants, including 7 women. On the second, intercepted two and a half miles from the island, there were 20 Tunisians.

All were accompanied, after the first health checks, to the hotspot where, at the moment, there are six hundred people.

Yesterday there were three other landings on the island for a total of 62 people.

The meeting held yesterday between the Agrigento prosecutor Luigi Patronaggio and the Carabinieri was dedicated in particular to the hygienic situation of the hotspot of Lampedusa. In the valley of the Imbriacola district, where the center is located, where the rolling tanks are located, an open sewer has been created, which is why Legambiente presented a complaint to the Public Prosecutor's Office denouncing "a very serious case of environmental degradation and pollution" . But it is not excluded - however, it will be up to the Carabinieri of the Anti-crime and nature center of Agrigento to verify this - that there are also risks to public health. Because the sewage of those affected by Covid-19, diphtheria and, in the past, also tuberculosis also ends up in the sewage. In the coming weeks, it will be carried out - as part of theinvestigation opened immediately after Legambiente's complaint - a targeted inspection. Again with the Carabinieri, the chief prosecutor addressed the issue of the continuous escapes of migrants, under anti-Covid health surveillance, from the Villa Sikania reception center in Siculiana (Ag). With the Flying Squad and the Guardia di Finanza, Patronaggio instead concentrated on the maxi landing of 538 people in recent days. In addition to the smugglers, with the investigation, the organizers of the crossing are sought, the same ones who may have kept the refugees locked up in a concentration camp in Libya.welcome Villa Sikania of Siculiana (Ag).
