ITALY-SEA-REFUGEES-IMMIGRATION

A handout picture released by the Italian Navy on June 30, 2014 shows a rescue operation of immigrants on June 29, 2014 off the coast of Sicily. The deaths of 30 boat migrants sparked anger and frustration in Italy on Monday, as critics accused the government of failing to deal with an immigration crisis which has seen over 5,000 people rescued in the last 24 hours. Rescuers had found the bodies stuffed into the hold of a fishing boat from north Africa when they boarded the vessel to help the most vulnerable of almost 600 migrants in the vessel.
