Issued on: Modified:
In the space of 24 hours on Wednesday, nearly 7000 migrants arrived on the southern Italian island of Lampedusa. That’s about double the number from the same time last year. The recent arrivals have overwhelmed the small island. They are also testing the promise made by Italy’s far-right prime minister Giorgia Meloni to curb illegal immigration. FRANCE 24’s James Vasina has the story.
