Survivors 'drained' after Lampedusa shipwrecks

(see related) (ANSA) - ROME, AUG 6 - The 57 survivors of the two shipwrecks that took place overnight off Lampedusa were worn out by the experience, the Red Cross said on Sunday.
    "They were drained from the shipwrecks when they arrived," said Ignazio Schintu, the Deputy Secretary General of the Italian Red Cross (CRI), which runs Lampedusa's migrant hotspot.
    "After the treatment and assistance of the CRI operators they are better, apart from their psychological condition, which we are addressing".
    CRI President Rosario Valastro expressed dismay at "more tragic news regarding the lives of people who take on long sea crossings in prohibitive conditions". (ANSA).
