At sea not far from Capo Spartivento (South Italy), the Guardia di Finanza intercepts a boat of refugees from Syria and saves them from an announced tragedy. The ship can sustain the sea no longer and has taken in water for a long while. The refugees are all safe and are taken to the port of Reggio Calabria, on the motorboats of the "Fiamme Gialle". They are escaping from the war and at last they have found a landing place. The journals have spoken of "the boat of the children" becouse 76 of the 226 migrants are 12 or 13 years old. A group of volunteer pediatricians are waiting for them on the quay to make sure of their health conditions. Afterwards, they will be taken by bus to an accomodation center got ready for this occasion.
