On Wednesday, the French navy successfully rescued 85 migrants attempting to cross the Channel, responding to distress calls amid ongoing dangers faced by those seeking safety.
The rescue operation involved a navy tugboat that saved 80 passengers from a trapped vessel, alongside five from another boat, underscoring the perilous conditions of Channel crossings.
This year alone, over 70 migrants have tragically lost their lives trying to navigate the dangerous waters of the Channel, highlighting the ongoing migrant crisis.
In response to rising migration attempts, the UK government has pledged to intensify efforts against people-smuggling operations, reflecting the heightened urgency surrounding this humanitarian issue.
