(ANS – Rome) – A river of foreign minors flows through Italy every year without practically anyone noticing. They disembark without parents on the island of Lampedusa, in the heart of the Mediterranean, or directly on the Sicilian coast; from there they begin the journey to the North, to the rest of Italy or Europe, and we lose track of them. In 2023, host communities filed 17,535 missing persons complaints. Huge and dramatic numbers: for 5,723 who were found safe and sound, 2 were recovered lifeless. And as many as 11,810 are missing at "roll call". No one knows quite what happened to them. To try to understand this, you can knock on the door of one of the many non-profit organisations trying to look after this, such as the Don Bosco centre in Naples.
