Social media reel showing the activities of the MSF team in Agrigento, where we provide assistance to migrants in transit as part of the "People on the Move" project. Among the activities, psychological support for unaccompanied minors through drawing workshops that help them understand and share their emotions after the difficult journey.

Nearly 9,500 unaccompanied foreign minors have arrived in Italy in 2025 after crossing the Mediterranean. Many are fleeing situations of extreme violence and poverty and have endured traumatic experiences during their journey, which require dedicated support services.

However, with an increasingly fragile reception system in Italy, these lone minors do not always manage to gain access to adequate reception centers or the specialized support they need.

They cannot be left alone in a system where the protection of vulnerable people and the right to asylum are becoming increasingly precarious.
