Italy flies in Syrian refugees via air 'humanitarian corridor'

Italy has been accepting groups of Syrian refugees, flying them in by plane and sparing them the risk of dangerous sea and border crossings. The first arrivals were greeted on February 4. On Monday another group of 93 flew into Rome airport on a commercial flight from Beirut. The refugees had been living in camps in Lebanon after fleeing the civil war; they have been granted humanitarian visas.
