Six people died after a boat carrying migrants sank in the English Channel
French officials said the country’s navy rescued 42 people and are transporting them to Calais, including five of the people who lost their lives. British ships rescued around 13 people, who have been taken to Dover in the UK. Local mayor Franck Dhersin tweeted an image of some of the migrants who had been rescued aboard a rescue boat covered with gold aluminum blankets. “Here is another catastrophe off the coast of Calais/Wissant with several drowned migrants.
The figure is the highest recorded in a single day this year. As of this week 100,000 migrants have crossed the Channel since 2018, including nearly 16,000 this year, figures show. On Friday 39 asylum seekers were removed from a controversial barge meant to house hundreds of people after Legionella bacteria was discovered in the water. French authorities have stepped up patrols and other deterrent measures after the UK agreed in March to send Paris hundreds of millions of euros annually.
