At least 13 people are dead and many others in serious condition after a boat carrying suspected migrants capsized in the English Channel near Boulogne-sur-Mer. The vessel, with around 70 people on board, broke up during the crossing, leaving rescue workers scrambling to save lives.

The incident is the deadliest this year in the waterway, highlighting the ongoing struggle for French and British authorities to prevent dangerous attempts at crossing. French Interior Minister, Gérald Darmanin, has announced plans to visit the affected area soon.

With migration across the English Channel on the rise, both countries are grappling with the challenge of ensuring safe and legal pathways for those seeking refuge. The tragic event serves as a reminder of the risks faced by migrants and the need for continued efforts to address the underlying causes of forced displacement.
