Italy has been overwhelmed by a flood of illegal migrants from Africa. In early August, a reported 11,000 migrants arrived in Italy in a single week. Over 130 of them tested positive for coronavirus. In mid-August, Muslim migrants revolted aboard a coronavirus quarantine ship because they thought they were being returned home. The flow of migrants is said to be “mostly from Tunisia….with a small number from sub-Saharan Africa.”
Now Italy is actually using buses as quarantine areas due to lack of space, as the country continues to allow the hijra with no means to accommodate the new arrivals and no thought about the future consequences of their actions.
“Italy Forced to Quarantine Migrants on Buses Due to Lack of Space,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, September 9, 2020:
Authorities in Udine and Tricesimo in the northeast of Italy have been forced to use buses as temporary quarantine areas for migrants due to a lack of space.
The temporary solution comes as the local migrant centre, a former barracks, has become full.
While migrants arrive in large numbers across the Mediterranean Sea from North Africa, they continue to illegally enter the country along the Balkan route, as well.
Initially, the migrant buses were parked in the car park of a church in Tricesimo but were later moved after mayor Giorgio Baiutti demanded that an alternative be found, newspaper Il Giornale reports.
Baitutti also noted that of the 72 migrants who were supposed to be quarantined and tested, at least 25 had escaped. The mayor said that as a result, the area was not safe for locals.
The migrants were then moved south to Udine where 40 were taken to reception centres run by the Catholic charity Caritas. Thirty were forced to remain on board two buses while awaiting transfer to a migrant reception facility.
“We are looking for places to welcome refugees, a small disused hotel would be fine or a school no longer in use, a building with main services is also fine. The problem is that we’re not finding availability,” a local official said.
Space to quarantine the influx of new migrants is also sparse in the south of Italy, where a sixth ship has been deployed to help quarantine new migrants in case they test positive for coronavirus. Each of the vessels is said to cost taxpayers €50,000 (£45,000/$59,000) per day….
