3:03 pm
store and meet the bus so it will be 40. they may be as generous as these gestures may be lumped, produces simply cannot accommodate all the people that have arrived here. so the utility and government is moving them from the island. from here, the migrants are being sent to sicily, and that's going to be about a 10 hour journey on this vessel that they're boarding behind me. once they reach sicily, they're going to be relocated to different cities across instantly, some of going as far as right up north. as the migrants move on, the pressure on the island is easy. but the tension among european governments of the migration is growing because of the attention, the italian prime minister has called for european commission president also left on the line to visit lum, pedroza, to witness the conditions there for herself. and that reports just now by dw correspondent, christina mooney law, who is just outside lum,
3:04 pm
produces migrant reception center. i asked her earlier to give us the latest on the situation there. monica were sadie outside the only migraines reception center on the island offline produce that as well this morning with cross told us they were about 2800 people behind this fence that you see behind. to me, this capacity i have to point out can only was designed and can only accommodate about 400 people. full 20, full 50 at max to be spoken to people who have been behind dispensed. they tell us the conditions are really, really difficult. it is squashed, it is crowded. the few toilets that all day, obviously not the mouthful, the thousands of people that are behind that fence. many people really want to get out in the minutes that we've been standing waiting to go live. we've seen scuffles breaking off. people are sitting in the heat, the people right at the edge here are people now waiting to be escorted to a bus that will take them to the port that will ferry them off of the island. the situation is really desperate. you and elsewhere on the island in the center,
3:05 pm
there has been some tension. we had some people gathering around the city, sent out the reckoning to block the efforts of the red cross. these are people who say the they don't want the migrants. and the way we quoted, the deputy may ask who, who spoke to me and was really angry about the fact that the european union member states have not stepped in. so help it's cindy at this time does have admitted to him to the message of the test to get through is that 0 pass to wake up at all. but because the european union has been absent for 20 years, when they all g today, we give this signal and then produce, assess, you know, for sure, introduce, instruct him suffering for 20 years. he's been, we a psychologically just i'd like to come in through this little while the deputy may of the definitely overwhelmed by the situation and also feeling left alone by europe. christine, when a come, you mentioned it before is so far beyond capacity. what's all the leading
3:06 pm
conditions, like for the new arrivals, those who are not yet being transported onto the next vessel? well, those people are facing really cramped conditions having to sleep out in the open. it's really, really hot. we've seen some of the food that they get. it's biscuits, it's pasta, it looks reasonable, but people all sufficing over it. because of course, when the results is approached out, the crowds tend to jump. the women told us that really they've been fighting. there are a lot of men as well men of number women by foss, so you can just imagine the kind of energy that is inside to a young man making in the he's in really frustrating conditions. you've seen some scuffles breakouts between some of the migrants. it tends to be between the north african virus and the such a hard african migrants. but overall, some of them do leave the facility in room or on the islands. they have met low cost that they say have shown them kind as we indeed have seen this any sort of and
3:07 pm
to immigrants incidentally picked up on is really in the small numbers for the most part that has been sort of dared see on this island a big if it's by local volunteers to try and help the situation behind this, the spanish, but i really cannot express to you just how difficult the situation is here for people. and of course, the plan is to evacuate people from the island to remove about 2000 people today. but as we saw yesterday, this takes hours to remove a batch of about 400 people can take up to 6 hours. and then of course, once they pull to ferry, if they're going to sicily, that could be about 10. now would you any, etc, on the vessels like the one we saw in the reports taking people to the ascending price. i just briefly christine, because the people on the island help pay the uh, but the detailing problem, innocent georgia maloney also asked the army to built in laundry reception centers . and she wants to extend the time limit for the detention of migrants on those
3:08 pm
viable solutions. yet, but not for me, immediate show to me. so i miss what, what's really needed now is, is help in terms of moving people as quickly as possible this island and distributing them to the cities. that is the main priority. it's really what the migrants would need because these conditions on not ideal, he's coming to real criticism for not allowing stop a search and rescue missions in the water, which would have a need. the opposite, the pressure off the items because into us would have picked people up and distributed them to other parts of it to be as opposed to having everybody crept to . yeah. so these are all long term solutions that unfortunately will not address the situation unfolding behind the scenes right now. why speed of these christine moons while they are reporting from a migrant reception center on lum produce? thank you so much, christine. let's take a look now, it's some of the other stories making news around the world's irradiance, of mocking one years since the death of a young woman that sparked a nationwide protest movement. the unrest begun after a gina masa. i mean,
