Packed migrant boat caught on video trying to cross English Channel
Just a day after 12 migrants tragically died attempting to cross the English Channel from northern France, another boat, packed with several dozen people, was spotted making a similar attempt, seemingly heading toward Britain.
The overcrowded boat was so heavily laden that some passengers, crammed side-by-side, had their legs dangling over the inflatable tubes, highlighting the perilous conditions.
Onlookers on the beach, including people casually strolling and walking their dogs, witnessed the desperate scene unfold. This stark contrast between the peaceful shoreline and the dangerous journey of the migrants underscores the ongoing crisis in the region.
In the past seven days alone, at least 2,109 migrants have attempted to cross the English Channel on small boats, according to the latest data from the U.K. Home Office.
This figure includes those found in the channel or upon their arrival, reflecting the persistent and growing challenge of managing migration across this treacherous stretch of water.
