Italy 🇮🇹 intercepts 🚫 German 🇩🇪 aid ship 🚢, at Lampedusa

Italian 🇮🇹 Coast Guard, is questioning,️ the crew of a German 🇩🇪 rescue ship 🚢 on the isle of Lampedusa, amid a dispute over Italy's🇮🇹 code of conduct for handling migrants at sea.

Jugend Rettet, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and some other aid NGOs reject ❌ the new Italian🇮🇹 code of conduct.

The Italian parliament is debating 🔊 the plan, already agreed by the government, which is aimed at stopping 🚫 the flow of unstable, overcrowded migrant boats🚢 across the Mediterranean to Italy🇮🇹.

Migrants picked up in Libyan coastal waters and not international waters - can be legally returned to Libya, but aid workers say conditions in migrant reception camps there are unfavorable.
