LANDING IN SICILY AND CALABRIA 
Still tragedies of the sea, yet victims of trafficking in human beings. The budget of the last two landings on the coast of Sicily and Calabria is heavy: 16 dead.
SICILY, 9 DEAD - The tragedy in Vendicari, one of the most suggestive landscape of Sicily. Until the other day there were more umbrellas, and today - on the beach and water - were found dead 9. And the death toll could rise: on the boat, slammed ashore by rough seas, in fact there were 24 people, secondo quanto hanno raccontato i 7 sopravvissuti raccolti stanotte sulla spiaggia del siracusano. Tra i corpi recuperati, anche quello di un ragazzo di circa 15 anni. Questo gommone, e un altro recuperato tra gli scogli, sarebbero i mezzi utilizzati dagli immigrati per raggiungere terra, dopo essere stati trasbordati da una barca più grande. Un peschereccio che li ha abbandonati in mare, nonostante le sue pessime condizioni, e se n'é andato. I 7 sopravvissuti, intercettati in nottata dalla polizia e condotti nel centro d'accoglienza di Cassibile, in un primo momento hanno taciuto sulla tragedia. Ma dopo il ritrovamento dei primi cadaveri, quando i carabinieri sono tornati a Cassibile, gli extracomunitari avrebbero finalmente rivelato di essere partiti in 24. The research, go on until sunset, have been suspended and will resume tomorrow morning at dawn.
CALABRIA, 7 VICTIMS - They had started from Egypt, Haiz, the approximately 150 Palestinians who have long cultivated a dream: Italy (or Europe). The journey to Calabria has lasted at least a week, during which the illegal immigrants have lived in hardship. Close to the Calabrian coast, the engine of the wooden boat in which they traveled, a hundred feet long, had a fault and the medium has become ungovernable. The sea at that time was under eight. The collision with a reef made the dramatic situation. And on the boat, frantumatosi into several pieces, was the panic. On the beach reached by swimming, was found the bulk of immigrants. A group of 25 managed to get away and was found in the cemetery of Gioiosa Jonica. Others were found in small groups in the vicinity. The seven bodies were recovered in part on the beach and partly in the sea. Appeal, if we consider that the immigrants were found 126 and seven are dead, miss 24 illegal immigrants. However, the number of missing remains uncertain. The research continues. No trace, at least for the moment, the smugglers. The assumption is that you are confused among immigrants. But it might also be able to escape. (Source Ansa.it)
