the women were all raped in Libya
As the ship of the NGO SOS Mediterranée Ocean Viking approaches the Porto Corsini of Ravenna, the cry “Welcome to Italy” of some activists of Mediterranea Saving Humans becomes more understandable. On the quay 300 people including health workers, Red Cross, Civil Protection, personnel of the Municipality of Ravenna. Along 200 meters of quay heated garrisons are set up for reception. In record time, the call from Rome arrived on 27 December. First the sanitary operations on board, then i 113 migrants35 of whom are minors, are brought down.
The women, it will emerge from subsequent checks, were all raped. That’s how it happens in the Libyan camps where are you coming from. The children are barefoot, there is a bundle that is 17 days old.
No one has Covid but they have tuberculosis, malaria, infections and almost all have scabies. Their rescue took place off the North African coast during the night between 26 and 27 December. Then the choice of the Meloni government to land them here. AND‘ the first time for Ravenna, which has no first reception centres and that it was forced to speed up health and police procedures and then immediately start the already agreed distribution. Unaccompanied minors will instead remain in Ravenna in the structures already identified.
