In this frame grab taken from a truck driver strikes female migrants with the hardware end of a cargo strap as they exited from the back of his truck at rest stop near the French border in Ventimiglia, Monday, July 15, 2024. According to authorities, smugglers loaded the 12 Eritrean women on to the back of the truck at a rest stop near the French border on Monday while the trucker was having lunch. Once closed inside the truck, the women apparently started agitating due to the heat, with outdoor temperatures over 30 degrees, drawing the driver's attention, city officials said. While the truck driver was being sought, officials said he was unlikely to face any sanction as it would require the women to make a formal complaint. (UGC via AP)
