The Alan Kurdi rescue ship at port on the Italian island of Sicily
[Sea Eye] 
NGO refugee rescuers have demanded the Italian government release two charity ships the authorities seized earlier this month and to start supporting their humanitarian work.
The Alan Kurdi and the Aita Mari were detained in the Italian port of Palermo, Sicily, on May 6 and 7 respectfully for allegedly breaching maritime safety regulations.
The Alan Kurdi, operated by German charity Sea Eye, saved the lives of 150 refugees in April before it was subjected to a 12-day stand-off with the country.
