Thirty-one migrants, including four women, have landed in Lampedusa after their 6-meter boat, which departed from Sfax, was rescued in Sar waters by the coast guard’s motorboat Cp327. The sea was rough and the boat was at risk of sinking. This is the first landing on the island since midnight. The migrants reported being from Guinea, Burkina Faso, and Ivory Coast. After a preliminary health examination at the Favarolo pier, they were taken to the hotspot. Out of the 1,557 guests at the hotspot, 800 migrants have been transferred to the Galaxy ferry that will arrive in Porto Empedocle in the evening. The transfer was ordered by the Prefecture in agreement with the Ministry of the Interior. The police accompanied the migrants in various groups to the port of Lampedusa. Currently, there are 757 people, including around 70 unaccompanied minors, remaining at the Imbriacola reception facility.
