epa04900183 Refugees rest at a reception station for migrants detained at the green border between Hungary and Serbia, in Roszke, 180 kms southeast from Budapest, Hungary, 27 August 2015. According to reports some 2500 refugees attempted to cross into Hungary 25 August with a similar number 26 August, prompting local authorities to strengthen border guards with an additional 2000 police. European Governments are meeting 27 August in Vienna with the massive influx of refugees to Europe likely to top the agenda as a unified policy as yet remains to be formulated.

Instabu bejn 20 u 50 katavru ta’ immigranti fi trakk ftit ‘il hinn triq prinċipali fl-Istat ta’ Burgenland, fl-Awstrija.
Fi żvilupp ieħor, vapur tal-gwardjani tal-kosta Żvediżi, bl-isem ‘Poseidon’, kien qed iwassal il-mijiet tal-immigranti lejn Palermo, fl-Italja. Dawn l-immigranti kienu ttellgħu minn dgħajsa u dinghy li nstabu barra l-kosta tal-Libja u fosthom kien hemm madwar 50 immigrant mejta li nstabu fl-istiva tad-dgħajsa.
Il-‘Poseidon’ kien fiz-zona bħala parti mill-missjoni tas-salvataġġ magħrufa bħala Triton li qed tmexxi l-aġenzija Frontex (tal-UE) għall-ħarsien tal-fruntieri.
Intant, l-awtoritajiet fl-Awstrija li tkellmu dwar is-sejba tal-immigranti fit-trakk irreferew għal ‘traġedja li affettwathom ħafna’. Dan waqt li l-Ministru Awstrijak għall-Intern, Johanna Mikl-Leitner, fissret it-traffikanti tal-bnedmin bħala kriminali.
Mhux ċar kif mietu l-immigranti li nstabu fl-Awstrija, inkella kemm kienu ilhom miżmuma fit-trakk.
