ENGLAND – At least four people were killed when a small boat loaded with migrants heading for British shores from France capsized in the freezing waters of the English Channel early Wednesday morning.
Lifeboats, helicopters and rescue teams working with the French and British navies respond to the incident, which took place as immigration to Britain organized by people-trafficking criminal gangs, has become a priority issue for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government.
The incident occurred just over a year after 27 people died while attempting to cross the sea in an inflatable dinghy in November 2021, in the worst recorded accident of its kind in the channel.
Temperatures have plunged across Britain in the last week, bringing snow to parts of the country.
Despite the freezing temperatures, more than 500 migrants have made the perilous journey in small boats since the weekend alone, with the people traffickers who organize the crossings, taking advantage of low winds and calm seas.
