ITALY-IMMIGRATION-REFUGEE

Migrants bath on a beach of Lampedusa island on October 26, 2013. There are currently three navy vessels on patrol, along with six coast guard patrol boats and six border guard patrol boats, as well as helicopters and planes from each of the three agencies patrolling the area as part of the new 'Mare Nostrum' surveillance and rescue operation, launched after more than 400 migrants drowned in two disasters earlier this month. Nearly 800 refugees were rescued off Sicily in several operations as European leaders grapple with the issue of illegal immigration at a European Union summit.
