This tragedy adds to a growing number of fatalities this year, now reaching 77 as reported by the UN’s International Organization for Migration. Pas-de-Calais MP Pierre-Henri Dumont warned about the extreme dangers of these crossings, especially during winter.

The recent deaths spotlight a surge in illegal crossings over Christmas, with 1,485 migrants making it across from December 25th to 28th. This sets a record for any Christmas period since tracking began in 2018. The total number of crossings has now surpassed 150,000 since the crisis started.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour government promised to stop these illegal crossings by targeting people-smuggler gangs around the Channel. Despite these promises, over 22,000 migrants have crossed since they took office in July — more than all of 2018 through 2020 combined.

TRAGIC Migrant DEATHS in English Channel Demand Urgent Action

05 September 2024 — A day after 12 migrants died in the English Channel, dozens more tried the dangerous crossing from France to Britain. French patrol boats watched as a crowded vessel struggled through the seas. This incident shows the big problem facing both French and U.K. governments.

The mayor of Wimereux, Jean-Luc Dubaële, called for urgent action from French and British officials to stop more tragedies. “Smugglers keep sending people to their deaths,” he said. "It’s high time that a lasting solution is found with Britain.

Cross-Channel migration was a key issue in the recent U.K. general election, which saw Keir Starmer become prime minister. A French prosecutor revealed that 10 of the 12 dead were women and six were minors, many appearing to be Eritrean. The boat sank about three miles off the French coast with many aboard lacking life vests.

Dubaële criticized the criminal networks smuggling people across the channel, labeling it “unacceptable” and “scandalous.” He emphasized that migrants are drawn to Britain rather than seeking asylum in France. He urged immediate discussions with Britain’s new government to find a lasting solution.

The issue of cross-Channel migration was pivotal in the recent U.K. general election, which saw Keir Starmer become prime minister after Labour’s victory. French maritime authorities confirmed an inflatable boat carrying 40 to 50 migrants was monitored by French patrols on Wednesday morning.
