A moment of rescue operations of a boatload of migrants of sub-Saharan origin by the crew of the ship Euro Mediterranean Sea South, 7 September 2014. The pics show the moment of the arrival of the Italian vavy ship ‘Euro’ in the harbor of Reggio Calabria. The migrants were rescued as part of the Mare Nostrum operation that Italy launched after some 400 migrants died in two separate boat disasters in October 2013. Italy is struggling to cope this year with a huge increase in the already big flow of migrants to attempt the hazardous crossing from North Africa. ANSA/ GIUSEPPE LAMI
