| Subject: Immoral statists are responsible: 27 migrants headed for Italy die when boats sink Sat Apr 02, 2011 4:19 am | |
| Rescuers have retrieved the bodies of 27 migrants whose boats sank in the Mediterranean as the European Union offered to double its aid to Tunisia's poorest regions.
Many Europeans are worried about an influx of north African immigrants following uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.
Thousands have landed on the Italian island of Lampedusa, near Tunisia.
Italy has shipped more than 2000 migrants to detention camps on its mainland, relieving pressure on the island off Sicily, which has been overwhelmed by a stream of boats from Africa.
The Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi, who is under pressure from anti-immigrant coalition allies, toured the island on Wednesday and promised that all of the migrants would be deported or transferred to the mainland within three days.
