Rescued migrants sit in a bus after disembarking from a boat on the Italian island of Lampedusa during the evening of Saturday, Sept. 16, 2023. Tensions on the small island were rising Saturday, as both residents and migrants chafed at the long wait times to transfer people from the crowded reception center to the Italian mainland. Nearly 7,000 migrants arrived on Lampedusa from Tunisia this week, and the Red Cross said that 3,800 remained on the island on Friday. (Cecilia Fabiano/LaPresse via AP)
