    An aerial photograph shows six vessels gathered in open blue-turquoise water. One vessel on the upper left appears to be heavily overcrowded with numerous people, consistent with a migrant or refugee boat interception scenario. Several other boats, including what appear to be patrol or coast guard vessels, are positioned nearby.

    An aerial photograph shows six vessels gathered in open blue-turquoise water. One vessel on the upper left appears to be heavily overcrowded with numerous people, consistent with a migrant or refugee boat interception scenario. Several other boats, including what appear to be patrol or coast guard vessels, are positioned nearby.
    An aerial photograph shows a severely overcrowded inflatable or wooden vessel in shallow turquoise water over what appears to be a coral reef or shallow seabed. The boat is packed with a very large number of people, many visibly wearing orange or red life vests. The image depicts a maritime migration or rescue situation with the vessel appearing dangerously overloaded.
