150 Eritrean asylum seekers in the Milan train station. no home, no food, no water

I met Bianca (Italian) and Magda (Eritrean) in Milan last week. They are but two of the dozen volunteers of Cambio Passo, good people who decided to not sit and wait for the Milan authorities to act (whom are taking their time). Others helping are also Rete Donna Eritrea Italia a volunteer group of Eritrean women in Italy and single people. Cambio Passo act appeals to the heart of all of us: help with small actions. Give water and food to the refugeesin the streets that every day, by the dozens, come to Milan. They are  mostly Eritrean or Syrian.
They are not here to stay...

Eritrean asylum seekers abandon Italy for Switzerland

The RSI Radio TV Swiss reports that the numbers of refugees, more than half Eritreans are passing through Italy. The municipality of Chiasso (max capacity 134 beds) and Losone, as Switzerland is accepting refugees, due to a new legislation of its confederate States. But the directors Antonio Simona and Carmela Fiori say that the places are already full.In June 2014 Antonio Simona said the refugees being escorted to the immigrations offices and the immigration centre by the Italian/Swiss border patrols where more than a 1000, more than half are Eritrean. These asylum seekers are being temporarily settled in pensions. They pass across all the Italian peninsula in order to ask asylum, they prefer to risk it every day.
Why? Refugees are abandoning nations like Italy and asking asylum in Switzerland. This might sound like a victory to right wing politicians in Italy like Lega, but as society Italy has failed to ensure the basic human rights for these people. Most of them, while crossing Italy, are often seen sleeping in the streets and outside the train stations.

naked refugees in detention camp in Lampedusa being washed with cold water pump

The well-to-do world is hurrying around to by present. Switch on TV and there goes another reality. Not a Christmas Santa's add. What the hole of Taly watched at 1 pm is the video broadcasted on news time at RAI, Italian TV  channel.
The video shows refugees getting undressed and being washed by water pumps by some men, presumably social workers of some "cooperativa", italian word for "welcoming and acceptance facilities/company", in the middle of the yard of the Center for detention, identification and rejection of refugees in Lampedusa (CIE). the human beings humiliated so, were secretly filmed by another refugee, a Syrian man. Whom, as soon as the keepers of the Center found out  provided to punishing him. No food, water or cigarettes for him for a day. Who knows if the punishment is over him.

At the sight of such images Europe was shocked. the Peace Nobel Europe could not accept such inhumane conditions. Immediately , the High Commissioner's office demanded an investigation regarding the organization,management and standards with in these "prisons at open sky" as we call them here in Italy. I believe it wouldn't be out of order to call these places prisons. Even if as far they are the first form of "accoglienza" italian word for "welcoming and acceptance ".
