In this photo taken on July 2, 2013 and made available by the Italian Navy Wednesday, July 3, 2013, Coast Guard boats give help to a boat with some 80 migrants on a boat heading to Italy, in the Mediterranean sea, near the island of Lampedusa. The Vatican announced Monday that Pope Francis will go to Lampedusa island next week to meet with recently arrived migrants. Tens of thousands of clandestine migrants, many from Africa or the Mideast, head to Italian shores each year. Lampedusa is their frequent destination, closer to Africa than the Italian mainland.
