Migrants Crossing From North Africa Transit To Europe

LAMPEDUSA, ITALY - APRIL 23: Migrant men wait on a bus before boarding a ship bound for Sicily on April 23, 2015 in Lampedusa, Italy. It is expected that EU leaders in Brussels are to agree later that only 5,000 resettlement places across Europe are to be offered to refugees under a new emergency summit crisis package. Hundreds of migrants continue to arrive in Lampedusa from North Africa taking advantage of calm seas. Hundreds of migrants are believed to have perished over the last week as they attempted to cross the Mediterranean from Libya to Italy in order to seek refuge. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
