Eight Migrants Die in English Channel Crossing Attempt

Over 1,000 migrants reached the UK over the weekend despite the tragic incident off the coast of northern France.

A boat carrying 59 migrants crashed near Ambleteuse, France, resulting in eight deaths and six hospitalizations, including a 10-month-old baby with hypothermia.
French rescue services assisted 53 migrants on the beach, with 51 survivors taken to a reception center in Toulouse.
The tragedy follows a similar incident two weeks ago, where a boat ripped apart in the Channel, leading to 12 deaths.
Despite the recent fatalities, 1,093 migrants successfully crossed the Channel to the UK over the weekend, bringing the year's total to 23,533.
UK and French authorities continue to warn of the significant risks associated with crossing the Channel in flimsy and overloaded boats.
