In this video grab released by the Italian Coast Guards (Guardia Costiera) on August 23, 2015 migrants waiting on an overcrowded boat being helped during a rescue operation off the coast of Libya as part of the Frontex-coordinated Operation Triton. Italy's coastguard coordinated the rescue of 4,400 migrants from boats in the Mediterranean in a single day on August 22, 2015, officials said. Saturday's total was thought to be the highest for a single day in recent years as calm conditions encouraged people smugglers to leave Libya with boats stuffed with as many paying passengers on board as possible. The coastguard said it had received distress calls from a total of 22 vessels, either inflatable dinghies or wooden former fishing boats -- all of them dangerously overcrowded and many of them lacking basic safety equipment.

-- AFP PICTURES OF THE YEAR 2015 -- A man reacts as he arrives, with other refugees and migrants, on the Greek island of Lesbos, on October 28, 2015, after crossing the Aegean sea from Turkey. At least five migrants including three children, died on October 28, 2015 after four boats sank between Turkey and Greece, as rescue workers searched the sea for dozens more, the Greek coastguard said. The new accidents brought to 34 the number of migrants found dead in Greek waters this month, according to an AFP tally based on data from Greek port police. Since the start of the year, 560,000 migrants and refugees have arrived in Greece by sea, out of over 700,000 who have reached Europe via the Mediterranean, according to the International Office for Migration (IOM).

Talijanska obalna straža pokušava spasiti oko tisuću migranata s prenakrcanih plovila

"U opasnosti je više od 1000 ljudi", stoji u objavi talijanske obalne straže

Italian Far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini wrote in a letter to Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte that he could authorise the "alleged" minors to leave the Open Arms ship despite such a move being "divergent to my orientation."

Talijanska obalna straža u petak je pokrenula niz spasilačkih operacija i priskočila u pomoć stotinama migranata nakrcanih u više plovila nedaleko od talijanske obale, gotovo dva tjedna nakon što se ondje u brodolomu utopilo najmanje 73 ljudi.

“U opasnosti je više od 1000 ljudi”, stoji u objavi talijanske obalne straže.

Pripadnici obalne straže pokušali su uz pomoć svojih triju čamaca spasiti oko 500 migranata nakrcanih u plovilu koje je plutalo oko 70 milja (110 km) južno od kalabrijskog grada Crotonea, nedaleko od mjesta migrantske katastrofe 26. veljače.

Složene spasilačke operacije

U njihovu priopćenju stoji da su poslali još nekoliko svojih čamaca ususret još dvama plovilima s migrantima nešto dalje od prvog broda. Prema njima je punom brzinom zaplovio i brod talijanske mornarice da bi pomogao ugroženima. “Ovakve spasilačke operacije posebno su složene zbog velikog broja ljudi na brodovima koji plutaju”, rekao je jedan pripadnik obalne straže.

U odvojenom incidentu, koji se dogodio ranije u petak, obalna straža je spasila gotovo 500 migranata nedaleko od južnoga talijanskog otoka Lampeduse, izvijestili su lokalni mediji. U petak je nažalost pronađeno tijelo dječaka iz brodoloma od 26. veljače kod Kalabrije pa je broj mrtvih porastao na 73, a mnogi se migranti još vode kao nestali.

Vlada prijeti krijumčarima

Talijanska desničarska vlada u četvrtak je zaprijetila strožim zatvorskim kaznama krijumčarima migranata te je obećala da će spriječiti i obustaviti njihovo protuzakonito prebacivanje migranata plovilima, istodobno otvarajući legalne migracijske kanale.

Od srijede je u Italiju stiglo gotovo 3000 ljudi u usporedbi s njih oko 1300 tijekom cijelog ožujka prošle godine.

U četvrtak je samo na Lampedusu u 41. plovilu stiglo čak 1869 migranata, objavila je novinska agencija ANSA, komentirajući da je riječ o rekordnom broju iskrcanih migranata u jednom danu.
