Migrants who jumped off the Spanish humanitarian rescue ship Open Arms are rescued after a desperate bid to reach the shore of the Sicilian island of Lampedusa, southern Italy, tantalizingly near after 19 days blocked on board in deteriorating conditions by Italy's refusal to open its ports, Monday, Aug. 19, 2019.
