Migrants: arrivals were halved during the month of July and were strongly resized in the month of August. The photographer Luca Catalano Gonzaga was aboard the Italian Coast Guard ship ‘Luigi Dattilo’ between the 10th and 25th July to report the migrant rescue activities along the Lybian coasts. During the whole period of his stay, only one recovery of 99 migrants was registrated. They were coming from Sabratha crammed in a boat. The technical logistic support guaranteed by Italy to the Lybian Coast Guard, the come into forse of the Conduct Code of the ships belonging to the non-governmental organizations, and the blocking of the course to Lybia through Niger, determined the total arrest of the migration flow in the Mediterranean Sea.
