Italy rescues 32 migrants from Mediterranean island
The Italian coast guard rescued 32 migrants, including a child, who were stranded overnight on an uninhabited Mediterranean island on Monday, 3 April.
Footage shows emergency services flying over Lampione, a desert island, in a helicopter before airlifting people to safety.
The coast guard said they used a helicopter as poor weather conditions prevented a rescue by sea.
The migrants were later taken to the nearby island of Lampedusa, with the helicopter making five trips to transport them between the islands.
