video footage: Video of migrants sprayed for scabies stirs outrage in Italy, according to Globe and Mail. Video: Lampedusa: the final stop of a tragic journey Smuggling The tiny Italian island of Lampedusa, situated off the North African coast, continues to make headlines. Following the drowning deaths of hundreds of boat people last October, recent video footage has been used to denounce the inhumane conditions at the islands reception centre for migrants intercepted by the Italian navy. The video shows Africans being hosed outdoors in a treatment procedure for scabies. Media stories have emphasized they were stripped naked in a public area during freezing December weather, while the original video compares the conditions to a Nazi concentration camp. Some television reporting has combined the scenes with footage from the past couple of years to suggest an extremely overcrowded prison-like environment.
