BREAKING NEWS: Record-Breaking 125-Person Boat Crossing Sparks Chaos in Channel
A small boat carrying a record 125 people crossed the English Channel on Saturday, surpassing a previous record of 106 set in August. The incident has sparked chaos and raised concerns about migrant safety.
The boat was one of 12 that made the journey on Saturday, with almost 900 migrants crossing the Channel in total since January this year. This brings the total number of migrants who have crossed the Channel to around 33,000.
A separate incident on Sunday morning saw a body found on a beach near Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern France. The victim's age and nationality are not yet known, but an investigation is underway to determine if there is a link between this death and an attempted crossing nearby.
The Home Office has confirmed that 895 migrants crossed the Channel on Saturday alone, with many more attempting the journey in recent days. Authorities are working to respond to the crisis, but concerns about migrant safety remain.
