The Italian Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, today gave these figures to the full House of Representatives, where he gave the latest data on the "state of humanitarian emergency" declared by the government before the influx of immigrants from the last days , especially to Lampedusa.
Maroni said the center identification and deportation of immigrants from Lampedusa is now home to 1,923 men and women over 30 are housed in a facility authorized by the council of the small island, the point of closest Italian territory to Africa .
