The comune of Lampedusa e Linosa is part of the Sicilian province of Agrigento which also includes the smaller islands of Linosa and Lampione. It is the southernmost part of Italy and Italy's southernmost island. Tunisia, which is about 113 kilometres (70 miles) away, is the closest landfall to the islands. Sicily is farther at 205 kilometres (127 miles), whilst the island nation of Malta is 176 kilometres (109 miles) to the east.
Lampedusa, which has an area of 20.2 square kilometres (7.8sqmi), has a population of approximately 6,000 people. Its main industries are fishing, agriculture, and tourism. A ferry service links the island with Porto Empedocle, near Agrigento, Sicily. There are also year-round flights from Lampedusa Airport to Palermo and Catania on the Sicilian mainland. In the summer, there are additional services to Rome and Milan, besides many other seasonal links with the Italian mainland.

Italy's Lampedusa says it cannot cope with record number of refugee arrivals | DW News
The number of migrants who arrived to the Italian island of Lampedusa in recent days reached 7,000 - the equivalent of the entire population of the island itself. Most of the men, women and children arriving are rescued by local coast guards from rickety boats. An estimated 2,000 people have died making the often treacherous journey to Italy and Malta from North Africa this year alone. A 5-month-old baby who drowned on Wednesday was the latest victim. Germany recently stopped accepting migrants arriving in Italy under a European solidarity plan. The United Nations is urging European Union countries to cooperate to help thousands of migrants stuck on the island of Lampedusa.

The number of migrants who arrived to the Italian island of Lampedusa in recent days reached 7,000 - the equivalent of the entire population of the island itself. Most of the men, women and children arriving are rescued by local coast guards from rickety boats. An estimated 2,000 people have died making the often treacherous journey to Italy and Malta from North Africa this year alone. A 5-month-old baby who drowned on Wednesday was the latest victim. Germany recently stopped accepting migrants arriving in Italy under a European solidarity plan. The United Nations is urging European Union countries to cooperate to help thousands of migrants stuck on the island of Lampedusa.
