In the wake of the tragedy, French authorities dismantled a migrant camp in Calais, highlighting the ongoing struggle of migrants and the risks associated with crossing the Channel.
Many of the victims of the dinghy capsizing were revealed to be Eritrean, illustrating the dire circumstances that compel them to undertake such perilous journeys in search of safety.
Despite the fatalities, the exodus continues as migrants still attempt to cross the Channel, often in overcrowded and unsafe conditions, defying the risk to their lives.
The French government's policy aims to deter migrants from living near the coast, yet the tragic events on Tuesday underscore the ongoing need for humanitarian support and measures.
