Closer to Africa than the Italian mainland, Lampedusa has been overwhelmed by thousands of Tunisians fleeing unrest from the social upheaval at home.
More than 48,000 have reached the shores of southern Italy since the start of the year.

The fires were allegedly lit deliberately by Tunisians protesting against their imminent return home, having been ruled to be economic migrants rather than bona fide asylum seekers.
