epa04387333 Sub-Saharan migrants are transported to Italian Navy’s frigate ‘Euro’ (not pictured) during rescue operations at an unspecified location in the southern Mediterranean Sea, 06 September 2014. 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. EPA/GIUSEPPE LAMI
