"Eritrean migrants reduced to prison in German concentration camps"

In a severe state of malnutrition and very dehydrated. Thus, the 8 Eritreans transferred from the boat with 450 migrants to Lampedusa appeared to the staff of the largest pelagic polyclinics.

So debilitated to raise a somewhat daring comparison to a nurse: "That makes one think of the effects of the German concentration camps of the Second World War – says one of them – the states of malnutrition and dehydration are so important, one of the guys who speaks a little english told us that for several months they could only eat 30 grams of pasta a day and nothing else. "

In the hallway there is has two very young: they were medicated and helped to refuel, making them smile again. In an isolated room, a young man with tuberculosis is hospitalized

He looks like skin and bones, weighs 35 kilos, is 27 years old and would have spent "seven dramatic months" in Libya, where she would also violated. She is one of the women transferred to Lampedusa from the boat with 450 migrants, then admitted to the emergency room of the Palermo Civic Hospital. He does not speak, so much is fatigue, but also fear, which inspires memories that he can not erase. But as soon as she arrived at the hospital, she found the strength to shout by pointing to her four-year-old daughter who was with her: "Do not eat for three days, help her, give her the food immediately … "Then he closed himself up in a silence full of tension to dispose of it. And it was the girl, after eating milk and cookies, to take care of her. It is she who chose, in Lampedusa, clothes for her mother among those made available by voluntary badociations. And she tries to make her smile by singing and dancing. For music, he used a cell phone that was screaming. He sang and danced apparently happy. Her mother was looking at her, and she seemed to be smiling too, but only with her eyes she did not have the strength to do anything else.
