This DREF operation is focusing on supporting, as a priority, the Sicily Regional Branch of the Italian Red Cross (ItRC), and the allocation is to be considered as a start-up loan for a future Emergency Appeal which will cover the whole territory of Italy. The Emergency Appeal will be launched tentatively during the first week of May if it is still needed. If the arrivals of migrants expand to other Italian coasts, then the support will also be extended to those regions.
