Boat carrying 650 migrants lands autonomously in Calabria

A group of 650 migrants and refugees arrived autonomously in the Calabrian port of Roccella Ionica on Sunday night.

They arrived on board a 30-m fishing boat that had departed from Libya approximately five days previously, and which on arrival ran into another migrant boat that had landed recently.

The arrivals were all male and were said to be from Syria, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Egypt.
