Sources said the blaze, which destroyed two makeshift structures, originated after some migrants started a fire to warm themselves in one of the shacks. Reggio Calabria Prefect Michele Di Bari told Giornale Radio Rai that a site has already been located for a new camp.
“The intention is to substitute the tents with containers, guaranteeing water, natural gas, and electricity,” Di Bari said after a meeting with the provincial committee for public safety, which was convened following the fire.Source Ansa
