French maritime authorities have reported that eight men died trying to cross the English Channel, increasing this year's fatalities to 46 in perilous conditions.
Rescue crews were alerted to a distressed boat carrying 59 passengers. A tragic incident occurred, resulting in eight deaths when their vessel ran aground and was torn apart.
The strong currents make the English Channel particularly dangerous for small boats. Despite this, many migrants risking their lives are fleeing war and poverty.
In a recent attempt on September 14, there were eight crossings from France, during which roughly 200 people were rescued amid ongoing dangers.
