ITALY-REFUGEES-LIBYA-IMMIGRATION

Migrants board a ferry in the port of Lampedusa to be transferred in Porto Empedocle in Sicily, on February 18, 2015. Authorities on the Italian island of Lampedusa struggled to cope with a huge influx of newly-arrived migrants as aid organisations warned the Libya crisis means thousands more could be on their way. Officials on the tiny island south of Sicily were trying to process more than 1,200 exhausted, often traumatised and ill Africans in a reception centre designed for less than a third of that number. Federico Fossi of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees said the reception facilities on Lampedusa, Italy's most southernly outpost, were simply inadequate. "There are too many people to cope with," he told AFP. "We can't provide basic support -- dry clothes, food, water, telephone cards, psychological support.
