Four Migrant Bodies Discovered Near Calais Amid Channel Crossing Crisis

Authorities found four bodies in two days, raising concerns over the dangers of migrant crossings in the English Channel.

Two bodies were discovered on Wednesday, one on the beach at Calais and another in the sea, following two similar discoveries on Tuesday.
The bodies found are reportedly in a state that makes identification difficult, though one had documents suggesting Syrian nationality.
In the past week, eight bodies have been found in the area, highlighting the perilous nature of Channel crossings.
At least 60 migrants have died attempting to cross the Channel this year, marking 2024 as the deadliest year since 2018 for such attempts.
The migrant aid group L'Auberge des migrants has criticized border policies, stating these tragedies will continue without policy changes.
