Witnesses reported seeing a small inflatable boat carrying migrants heading towards Britain on Wednesday, just a day after a tragic incident left 12 dead.
The French interior minister detailed the overcrowding on the vessel, indicating that it was a mere seven meters long, which contributed to the disaster.
Emergency services were praised for their swift actions that saved 51 individuals from what could have been a greater loss of life after the previous sinking.
The local prosecutor's office confirmed the identities of the deceased, including a pregnant woman and six children, highlighting the human toll of these crossings.
