Inside Sicily's 'Hotel Sudan' for Med migrants
More than 1,000 migrants have been rescued by the British naval warship HMS Bulwark and are beginning to disembark in the Sicilian port of Catania.
They were rescued off the coast of Libya.
But what happens next?

Others simply disappear, hoping to make their way to other European countries.
However, many end up trying to eke out a living on farms in Catania, as Clive Myrie has been finding out.
