epa04322489 Refugees leave the Italian Navy ship ‘Etna’ carrying 2186 migrants rescued off the Sicily costs, as it arrives in Salerno, Southern Italy, 19 July 2014. Most of them are from Marocco. The Italian Navy said 3,510 migrants have been intercepted on boats in the past week. Italy is facing a record inflow of migrants this year. Rome has said it cannot face the task alone, demanding that the European Union’s border agency, Frontex, take over responsibility for rescuing migrants arriving by sea. EPA/CESARE ABBATE
