The non-profit organization Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says it rescued 73 people after carrying out two rescue operations at sea off the Libyan coast. On Friday night, 47 people were taken from a fiberglass boat that was in difficulty, and on Saturday morning, another 26 people were rescued from a wooden boat. All were safely brought aboard onto the Geo Barents rescue ship, a vessel operated by MSF, which is now on the way to its assigned port of Ravenna, Italy. The MSF rescue team says that two people refused help on Friday and decided to stay on the fibreglass boat. They were later assist...

The construction of two Italian migrant reception centres in Albania that were initially set to open last May is still underway, with no clear opening date in sight — and with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni now announcing another postponement, the controversial centres are now unlikely to open before the end of this year. The centres are part of a five-year agreement under which Albania has agreed to host migrant reception facilities funded and managed by Italian authorities. Forza Italia MEP Flavio Tosi told Euronews that “the opening should take place by the end of the year, in line with cert...

Four boats carrying more than 300 migrants have docked at the Spanish island of Gran Canaria in less than 24 hours. One of the vessels, a wooden boat carrying 64 people, arrived at the island unassisted. 11 of the people on board were transported to hospital, some by helicopter as four were said to be in a critical condition. Another of the boats was escorted to port by the Maritime Safety and Rescue Society (Salvamento Marítimo) after being spotted around 15 kilometres southeast of Gran Canaria. That boat was carrying 145 people, all of sub-Saharan African origin, and everyone on board was sa...

During the rescue, a Libyan Stability Support Apparatus boat endangered the operation. Migrants were seen jumping into the water to escape the Libyan ship. The rescued people, including children and babies, are awaiting a disembarkation port. New Italian legislation forces rescue ships to dock at distant ports, hindering timely rescues. So far, 884 migrants, including 48 children, have died in 2024.

In a year of elections which have seen far right parties achieve remarkable gains largely stoked by fear of immigrants and refugees, one remarkable new film - Xoftex \- portrays the plight of asylum seekers not via the usual grinding despair of social reality but through humour, fantasy and the occasional zombie. “Empathy should not be a bonus, it should be built in,” film director Noaz Deshe says. “It's not something we should even need to mention. It's a basic compound of you being a human being. And we're losing it.” I’m talking to Deshe about his fantastic new film Xoftex. We’re on the ter...

Many in Cyprus fear that the arrival of mostly Muslim migrants poses not only socio-economic and security issues, but also an identity, demographic and even an existential threat to the country, whose North has been occupied by the Turkish army since 1974. "Cyprus population is about 800,000 people. If we have 250,000 foreign people here, it means that 25% or 30% are foreigners. If we cannot tell them to go away because of the European Union policies, it means that in a year period of time, as they will bring their wives and kids, they are going to be more than a million. We would be turning t...

The Italian town of Monfalcone is dealing with a spike in friction — and media attention — caused by the political positions of the city's far-right Lega party mayor regarding a high number of legal residents of foreign background. Right before the European vote scheduled for 8 and 9 June in Italy, the debate reached its peak in the northern municipality with just over 30,000 inhabitants. Monfalcone, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, has become one of Italy's municipalities with the greatest concentration of foreigner-born residents, comprising around a third of the population. More than 5,...
