Migrants saved by Italian Radio HamA Ukrainian family of six, lightly clothed and in some cases barefoot, has been rescued after illegally trying to cross the Alps into Switzerland. The asylum seekers, including four children, had got lost near Monte Lema in the Italian-speaking southern canton of Ticino. Some suffered severe frostbite. According to the Ticino police, the family was saved by the fact they were carrying a walkie-talkie. Their appeals for help in English were picked up by an Italian amateur radio enthusiast, who alerted the police in Ticino on Sunday. The Ticino justice authorities announced on Monday that they have started an investigation into the incident. Thanks to Fabio IZ8FTW for alerting us to this item
