Migrants swim next to their overturned wooden boat during a rescue operation by Spanish NGO Open Arms at south of the Italian Lampedusa island at the Mediterranean sea, Aug. 11, 2022. Italy has impounded the Spanish charity rescue boat Open Arms in a Tuscan port for violating rules by Italy’s far-right-led government banning multiple rescues at sea, the charity said Thursday. Open Arms protested the sanctions as a violation of the law of the sea that requires boats to offer rescue, said it was being punished rescuing 176 people in three operations, including people of “extreme vulnerability.” (AP Photo/Francisco Seco, File)
