At least five migrants lose their lives attempting to cross the English Channel

According to police, at least five migrants have died while attempting to cross the English Channel near the French town of Wimereux. The French coast guard confirmed that in one of the rescue operations on Tuesday, they found several lifeless bodies. It has been a busy morning with multiple attempted crossings to the British coast, leading to search and rescue efforts by sea. The North has reported that around a hundred migrants have been rescued so far, with helicopters and boats involved in the operation.

These tragic events come just hours after the British Parliament approved a rule allowing the Government to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda instead of processing their requests in the UK. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson sees this as a deterrent to migrants coming through illegal channels. However, the UN and human rights organizations have criticized the measure as inhumane.

In recent years, tens of thousands of migrants have arrived in the UK, fleeing wars and poverty in regions such as Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Many of them cross the English Channel in small boats organized by people smugglers. Despite being one of the busiest maritime routes in the world, the Channel is dangerous due to strong currents, making it a perilous journey for overloaded boats carrying migrants.
