Migrants from a Spanish charity ship finally disembarked in Italy after almost three weeks at sea. An Italian prosecutor ordered the seizure and evacuation of the people on board, after a standoff between the Spanish organization and Italian government.
Dozens of people were allowed to disembark a rescue ship on the Italian island of Lampedusa, ending a 19-day standoff between the Spain-based rescue organization and the Italian government.
Minors and those needing medical treatment were eventually taken to the shore, but nearly 100 people remained on board. After more than two weeks on the ship, some migrants chose to jump overboard this week, attempting to swim to shore.

"I am not afraid," he said in part in Italian,"[but] proud to defend the borders and security of my country." In the meantime, people are still attempting to cross the Mediterranean to Europe, as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has called on Italy to change its policies and allow rescue ships to dock.
