ITALY-LIBYA-IMMIGRATION-RESCUE

Migrants wait at the "Temporary Permanence Centre" (CPT), a refugee camp on February 17, 2015 in Lampedusa. The Italian coastguard launched a massive operation Sunday to rescue more than 2,000 migrants in difficulty between the Italian island of Lampedusa and the Libyan coast, local media said. The emergency rescue came on the same day Italy said it was evacuating staff from its embassy in Libya and suspending operations there, highlighting the worsening security situation in the violence-plagued country.
