Two Women and a Child Killed After Migrant Boat Capsizes in Channel
At least two women and a child died after an inflatable migrant boat capsized in the English Channel south of Calais on Monday. French rescue services saved over 100 other passengers, five of whom were injured. The victims were identified as two women in their thirties and a ten-year-old child attempting to cross to England. This incident marks the 22nd migrant death since January, with smugglers often facilitating these dangerous crossings from the Calais area due to the narrowest point of the strait between France and Britain.
