Following this, Lampedusa mayor Filippo Mannino and the United Nations refugee agency warned that the Italian island is becoming overwhelmed. "In the past 48 hours, around 7,000 people have arrived on my island, an island that has always welcomed and saved in its arms," Mannino told Italy’s RTL 102.5 radio. Meloni stated that she had written to European Council President Charles Michel and asked him to put immigration on the agenda of an EU summit in October.
