Im going to jones good to have you with us. The use this. Its top official us. The left on the line will visited to vitale. An island to flop and do so. After rome, aust, brussels for help to deal with a rapid increase in migrant arrivals lumped into as it has long been a landing point from life in boats crossing the mediterranean from north africa. This week its Migration Center built to house about 400 people was overwhelmed after more than 7000 people arrived on the island, dw is christine wound. Why, how small from lum producer . Or they are tired and exhausted. They spent weeks even months in north africa wasting to across the mediterranean to gets to europe. Now they were here eager to start a new life. These men from the gamble, my too nice to get it. Get up here. Started my katia, im up with the new life right now. Im not thinking of going back to africa. Muscle boys is in the in charge. You know, the better please. Now better said remain as thought joe love to do so is geographic. He goes to north africa and that makes it the 1st part of coal for many my friends trying to enter the European Union. But this week, boats coming from libya and tennessee, arrived in record numbers overwhelming the small island and closing 5th among local residents. But some was still moved to open their doors open at the same place. You mean thinking that they lived in the format that a, b was the only hung z, okay. Who i thought of my children and all of those the dalliance who migrated the 4 guys. And i go to a well my field from police force. I got some tomatoes and im in the dont go and on the story and may have passed away before this. They may be as generous as these gestures may be. Lum produces simply cannot accommodate all the people that have arrived here. So the teddy and government is moving them from the island. From here, the migrants are being sent to sicily, and thats going to be about a 10 hour journey on this vessel that theyre boarding behind me. Once they reach sicily, theyre going to be relocated to different cities across instantly, some of going as far as rise up north as the migrants move on, the pressure on the island is easy. But the tension among european governments of the migration is growing. This was a report by g, w. Correspondents christine wound was just a short while ago. She was just outside, lumpy to says mike went Reception Center and we asked her to give us the latest on the situation that monica were sadie outside the only migraines Reception Center on the island offline produce that as well this morning with cross told us they were about 2800 people behind this fence that you see behind me. This capacity i have to point out can only was designed and can only accommodate about 400 people. Full 20, full 50 at max to be spoken to people who have been behind dispensed. They tell us the conditions are really, really difficult. It is squashed. It is crowded. The few toilets that all day, obviously not the mouthful, the thousands of people that are behind that fence. Many people really want to get out in the minutes that weve been standing waiting to go live. Weve seen scuffles breaking off. People are sitting in the heat, the people right at the edge here are people now waiting to be escorted to a bus that will take them to the port that will ferry them off of the island. The situation is really desperate. You and elsewhere on the island in the center, there has been some tension. We had some people gathering around the city, sent out the reckoning to block the efforts of the red cross. These are people who say the, they dont want the migrant sands, where we quote, the deputy may ask who, who spoke to me and was really angry about the fact that the European Union Member States have not stepped in. So help its cindy at this time. Hes having to send to him to the message the test to get through is to do a test to wake up at all. But because the European Union has been absent for 20 years, filtered up and when they all g today we give this signal and then produce, assess, you know, for sure that introducing stuff from suffering for 20 years for peace been we a psychologically destroyed little to come in through the story of the deputy may of the definitely overwhelmed by the situation and also feeling left alone by europe christine, and accomplish you mentioned it before is so far beyond capacity. Whats all the leading conditions like for the new arrivals, those who are not yet being transported onto the next vessel 12, those people are facing really cramped conditions having to sleep out in the open. Its really, really hot. Weve seen some of the food that they get. Its biscuits, its past uh, it looks reasonable, but people all sufficing over it. Because of course, when the results is approached out, the crowds tend to jump. The women told us that really theyve been fighting. There are a lot of men as well men of number women by foss, so you can just imagine the kind of energy that is inside to a young man leaking in the heat and really frustrating conditions. Weve seen some scuffles break out between some of the migrants. It tends to be between the north african virus and the such a hard african migrants. But overall, some of them do leave the facility in room or on the islands. They have met low cost that they say have shown them kindest. We indeed have seen this any sort of and to immigrants incidentally picked up on is really in the small numbers for the most part that has been funded arity on this island. Big if its by local volunteers to try and help the situation behind this, the spanish, but i really cannot express to you just how difficult the situation is here for people. And of course, the plan is to evacuate people from the island to remove about 2000 people today. But as we saw yesterday, this takes hours to remove a batch of about 400 people can take up to 6 hours. And then of course, once they pull to ferry, if theyre going to sicily, that could be about 10. Now would you any, etc, on the vessels like the one we saw in the reports taking people to the city. Right. And just briefly, christine, because uh the people on the island helping. But the, the tell the problem is the georgia maloney also asked the army to build the laundry Reception Centers. And she wants to extend the timely made for the detention of my quinns on those Viable Solutions yet, but not for me, immediate show to me. So this, what, whats really needed now is, is help in terms of moving people as quickly as possible of this island and distributing them to the cities. That is the main priority. Its really what the migrants would need because these conditions on not ideal, hes coming to real criticism for not allowing stop a search and rescue missions in the what so which would have a need the opposite, the price off the item because into us would have picked people up and distributed them to other parts of it to the as opposed to having everybody cramped to. Yeah. So these are all Long Term Solutions that unfortunately will not address the situation unfolding behind this fence right now. Why are these christine moons . Why they are reporting from a migrant Reception Center on lum produce. Thank you so much, christine. Lets take a look now. Its some of the other stories making news around the world.
