One person died and over 60 migrants were rescued after an overloaded boat sank off the coast of northern France, officials said Monday. The incident highlights ongoing risks faced by migrants crossing the busy English Channel.
A small migrant boat capsized overnight near Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, with one person found unconscious in the water and later pronounced dead. More than 60 people were rescued during a joint operation involving the French Navy, a tugboat, and British rescue teams, including a mother and child who were airlifted to hospital.
In the past week, over 1,100 migrants have crossed the Channel in small boats, raising concerns about safety and immigration control. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to intensify efforts against people smugglers amid political pressure following recent local election results.
