Migrants Crossing From North Africa Transit To Europe

LAMPEDUSA, ITALY - APRIL 22: Eric Joseph, 27, a migrant from Nigeria stands in a 'boat graveyard' by the port on April 22, 2015 in Lampedusa, Italy. Eric left Libya on a vessel and spent 21 hours at sea before being picked up by the coastguard and brought to Lampedusa where he has been for three days waiting for transit to Sicily. Migrants continue to arrive on the island of Lampedusa from North Africa, taking advantage of calm seas. Hundreds of migrants are believed to have perished over the past week as they attempted to cross the Mediterranean from Libya to Italy in order to seek refuge. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
