33 boats with migrants arrived on the Italian island of Lampedusa in the last 30 hours, which increases the level of turbulence in the immigration situation. Italian government authorities reported that this influx numbered more than 1,600 people.
Only on November 14, 19 boats with 900 refugees arrived in Lampedusa, and on the night of November 15, another 6 boats brought almost 400 migrants. In just a few hours on Tuesday, 19 more boats arrived with 900 refugees. The Red Cross registration center in Lampedusa is now overcrowded, putting pressure on the migrant reception and processing system.
The migration wave increased again after the agreement between the governments of Italy and Albania. The agreement provides for the creation of two centers for migrants in Albania, where they will be sent directly from rescue ships and then transported outside the EU. This agreement is designed for the annual referral of up to 36,000 migrants.
