At least 12 people have died and rescue operations are under way on Tuesday to find two people still missing, highlighting the ongoing dangers of Channel crossings.
Rescuers have pulled 65 people from the water, marking it as the deadliest migrant boat tragedy in the English Channel this year, according to maritime authorities.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper condemned the gangs behind human trafficking crossings, stating they prioritize profit over lives, amidst rising deaths and missing persons in attempts.
Over 2,100 people reportedly attempted to cross the English Channel in the past week alone, underscoring the increasing urgency and peril of these dangerous journeys.
