Lampedusa: Italian Island's Population Doubles After Migrant Influx | Vantage with Palki Sharma

The tiny Italian island of Lampedusa usually has a population of about 6,000. Lampedusa saw its population double after about 7,000 migrants landed there within 24 hours. The migrants were mostly from Africa. They were fleeing instability on the continent.

This year Italy has already seen about double the number of migrants compared to the same time last year. As more crises affect Africa, the number of migrants to Europe is likely to increase. Palki Sharma tells you more.
