Thousands of people from Africa and the Middle East have crossed the Mediterranean to reach Europe on flimsy boats, since the start of the year. Their first port of call is Lampedusa. The Âé¶¹Éç's Emma Jane Kirby has been speaking to the island's grave digger who's buried many migrants who died during the journey from North Africa.
