Lampedusa, Italy
A man cries as he hugs a crew member
after disembarking from the Open Arms rescue ship
on the Sicilian island of Lampedusa.
An Italian prosecutor ordered the seizure of the rescue ship
and the immediate evacuation of more than 80 migrants still
aboard,
capping a drama that saw 15 people jump overboard
in a desperate bid to escape deteriorating conditions on the
vessel.
