Italian Coast Guard Rescues 4,440 Migrants at Sea in Single Day 
----------------------------------------------------------------

in over 22 operations on Saturday alone. This comes as thousands of
other migrants resume their journeys north through Macedonia after the
country reopened its border with Greece after declaring a state of
emergency and sealing the border last week.
