" I have Two Children At Home . In The Past years, I did not care about this issue. But now I have an instinct of protection for my children because I don't know what will happen to Lampedusa in The Future , " one of the protesters told the Reuters news agency.

Jasmine Lozzelli, an activist working on Lampedusa, told The Bbc The Migrants should be sent to mainland Italy.
