Baku, September 3, AZERTAC

Twenty refugees have landed at Rome's Fiumicino airport after being evacuated from prison camps in Libya thanks to a humanitarian corridor, according to ANSA.

They will be hosted in facilities across Italy by charities including the Community of Sant'Egidio and ARCI.

Many of the refugees who reached Italy on Monday had stayed for a long period of time in detention camps in Libya and were severely abused, organizers said. Some of the children, who will be hosted together with their families, were born in the North African country.

The refugees hail from Togo, Chad, the Central Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Cameroon and Myanmar. They will be staying in different Italian regions and will be immediately enrolled in integration programs, the charities involved in the project said. Minors will start attending school and adults will learn Italian and will be helped find a job.

In particular, two families will be hosted by the Sant'Egidio Community in Rome and in the Calabria town of Riace, for a total of nine people. Another family of seven will be hosted by ARCI while four others will be hosted by the national SAI hosting system.
