That is a lot if people in one day. I wish the world could come up with better solutions that did not involve war to solve these massive issues.

Just a small taste of the future climate refugee problems
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Mediterranean island of Lampedusa is a first point of arrival for people seeking asylum or looking to keep moving north to other European countries.
A flotilla of flimsy boats, crowded with migrants and launched from Tunisia, overwhelmed a tiny southern Italian island on Wednesday, taxing the coast guard's capability to intercept the smugglers' vessels and sorely testing Premier Giorgia Meloni's pledge to thwart illegal migration.
Compounding the political pressure on Italy's first far-right leader were vows by France and Germany to rebuff migrants who arrive by sea on Italian shores, and in defiance of European Union asylum system rules, head northward to try to find jobs or relatives in those and other northern countries on the continent.
Starting early on Tuesday, the unseaworthy, unstable iron boats came one after the other in what appeared to be almost a procession to onlookers on Lampedusa, a fishing and tourist island south of Sicily.
Provoking the surge in numbers was a bottleneck in Tunisia's ports of several days caused by rough seas that meant the smugglers couldn't launch their boats, according to Italian authorities.
Volunteers working with Baobab provide the migrants with a hot meal every evening on a street in Rome.
The original article contains 396 words, the summary contains 200 words. Saved 49%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
And back they go.
Malthusian Equilibrium in action.
