Child among fatalities on Channel boat, trampled to death

ai generated text

Two incidents involved attempts to cross the Channel by dinghy, with the first reported at around 7am on Saturday. In both cases, the migrants called for assistance due to engine failure and overcrowding. The first incident resulted in the deaths of three individuals, aged in their 30s, whose bodies were recovered by rescuers. A fourth migrant, a 2-year-old child, also died in the second incident, which occurred in an overloaded dinghy carrying nearly 90 people off the coast of Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern France. Thirteen other migrants were rescued, including a 17-year-old who was injured and hospitalized in Boulogne.

    1. The smugglers have the blood of these people on their hands and our government will intensify the fight against these gangs who enrich themselves by organizing these deadly crossings.

    1. It is appalling that more lives have been lost in the Channel today, including a young child, as criminal smuggler gangs continue to organise these dangerous boat crossings.
    2. The gangs do not care if people live or die -- this is a terrible trade in lives.

    1. A person on the dinghy called us to ask for help. She said over the telephone that a child was dead and that if they were not helped, everyone would die.
