On Tuesday, April 23rd, migrants attempting to cross the English Channel were successfully rescued and transported to Dover. This rescue operation took place mere hours after the United Kingdom approved a contentious bill that would allow for the deportation of migrants. Footage captured by Sky News depicted a UK Border Force vessel drawing near a small, overcrowded boat to assist the individuals on board.
Subsequently, the rescued migrants disembarked from the vessel in Dover and proceeded towards a designated facility. Tragically, on the same day as this rescue, five individuals lost their lives while attempting to cross the treacherous English Channel. According to La Voix du Nord, a French newspaper, the bodies of the deceased were discovered on Tuesday at Wimereaux beach in northern France.
