The tragic incident near Bleriot-Plage highlights the dangers of overcrowded boats attempting perilous sea crossings, marking 2024 as the deadliest year recorded for this journey.
Emergency services rescued 48 people, with many needing urgent medical help, primarily for hypothermia, showcasing the life-threatening conditions faced by migrants at sea.
Mayor Guy Allemand stated, 'It never stops. It's crossing after crossing, without any letup,' emphasizing the incessant nature of these dangerous migrations.
Despite attempts by UK authorities to disrupt smuggling networks, the recent spike in crossings raises questions about the effectiveness of these measures.
