New Wave of Boat Migrants Crossing Channel Sets Record!

On Saturday, 656 migrants in 11 small boats set a new one-day record for Channel crossings to the UK. This surpasses the previous high in March. French authorities rescued over 50 migrants in distress, while many declined help to continue the illegal journey. This year, crossings have reached 8,061—a 46% rise from last year. The UK government aims to disrupt the smuggling networks that endanger lives, but these new figures highlight the ongoing crisis and challenge current policies (@GBNEWS).
