  • PRIOLO GARGALLO, ITALY - 23 SEPTEMBER 2016: The gravestone of an unidentified migrant of the shipwreck of August 24th 2014 is seen here in the cemetery of Priolo Gargallo, Italy, on September 23rd 2016.<br />
<br />
On August 24th 2014, a boat carrying more than 400 migrants, departed from the coasts of Libya in the attempt to reach Italy, capsized in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea. Rescuers of the Italian Navy saved 352 people, and recovered 24 lifeless bodies.<br />
<br />
Following the events of the Arab Spring in 2011, including Gaddafi’s death and Libya’s plunge towards chaos, clandestine crossings skyrocketed, as did the number of people drowning. In 2014 over 170,000 arrived in Italy and since then more than 10,000 perished in the Mediterranean sea.<br />
<br />
Only a fraction of these bodies have ever been recovered, and, of the ones that have, the majority remain unidentified. In Sicily alone there are more than 1,500 graves of anonymous refugees and migrants–people from Syria and other war torn countries–who have drowned in shipwrecks at sea.<br />
<br />
Despite the decades long persistence of the problem, Italy has yet to develop a comprehensive approach to handling the bodies of shipwreck victims. Many pieces of a functional body identification system are in place, but its overall effectiveness is crippled by a lack of coordination between the various local agencies involved and national authorities.

On August 24th 2014, a boat carrying more than 400 migrants, departed from the coasts of Libya in the attempt to reach Italy, capsized in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea. Rescuers of the Italian Navy saved 352 people, and recovered 24 lifeless bodies.<br />
<br />
Following the events of the Arab Spring in 2011, including Gaddafi’s death and Libya’s plunge towards chaos, clandestine crossings skyrocketed, as did the number of people drowning. In 2014 over 170,000 arrived in Italy and since then more than 10,000 perished in the Mediterranean sea.<br />
<br />
Only a fraction of these bodies have ever been recovered, and, of the ones that have, the majority remain unidentified. In Sicily alone there are more than 1,500 graves of anonymous refugees and migrants–people from Syria and other war torn countries–who have drowned in shipwrecks at sea.<br />
<br />
Despite the decades long persistence of the problem, Italy has yet to develop a comprehensive approach to handling the bodies of shipwreck victims. Many pieces of a functional body identification system are in place, but its overall effectiveness is crippled by a lack of coordination between the various local agencies involved and national authorities.

<br />
Italy has increased its imports of Russian crude despite EU efforts to end ties to Russian energy in an unintended consequence of western sanctions against the Kremlin.<br />
<br />
As a result, Italy has overtaken the Netherlands as the EU’s largest import hub for seaborne Russian crude. Two-thirds of of the Russian oil exported to Italy are destined for Augusta, a port in Sicily near the Russian-controlled ISAB refinery. The refinery, which is owned by Moscow-based company Lukoil, used to secure a variety of supplies worldwide thanks to credit lines from European banks. Although Lukoil is not under sanctions, lenders have stopped providing financing after the EU imposed sanctions on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine, forcing the refinery to rely solely on supplies from its parent company.<br />
<br />
The effects of the embargo is destabilizing for the entire area, which employed about 30,000 people 30 years ago. The economic crisis of 2008, then the pandemid and now the war in Ukraine has made the situation just worse. Today the area employs 8,000 workers. Lukoil employs 1,000 workers and approximately 2,500 sub-contractors, whose jobs are now at risk.<br />
<br />
Because of the interconnection between Lukoil and other companies in the area, the economy of the entire industrial relies on the faith of the Russian-owned company.
