ITALY-IMMIGRATION-REFUGEE-RESCUE
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY ELLA IDE
Migrants disembark on October 20, 2014 from the "Fiorillo" coast guard boat in the port of Palermo. The memory of terrified parents and children being tossed out of their boat to drown in a nighttime storm haunts Captain Giuseppe Maggio, one of the men and women tasked with saving shipwrecked migrants in the Mediterranean. His crew is one of dozens which have rescued thousands of asylum seekers attempting the perilous crossing from northern Africa as part of "Mare Nostrum", a large-scale deployment launched by Italy after two deadly shipwrecks last year. And with the number of deaths in the Med topping 3,300 so far this year they have no intention of stopping, despite Italy's threat to wind up its search and rescue mission. AFP PHOTO / GABRIEL BOUYS
