TRAGIC SPIKE: Migrant Deaths in Channel HIT Record High

30 December 2024 — Three migrants died trying to cross the Channel near Calais, according to the French coastguard. 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.

Local Interior Minister Herbert Reul warned those threatening Jewish life in Germany: "We are on your trail!

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.

TRAGIC Migrant DEATHS in English Channel: 12 Lives Lost

04 September 2024 — At least 12 migrants died when a smuggler’s boat broke up in the English Channel on Tuesday. Most of the victims were women and children, including one pregnant woman. The migrants were primarily from Eritrea, attempting to reach Britain.

French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin reported 12 dead, two missing, and several injured. This incident raises the death toll in the Channel to at least 31 this year. Over 21,000 people have crossed the Channel so far in 2023, surpassing last year’s rate.

Darmanin called for a migration treaty between the UK and EU to address illegal crossings and employment of migrants in poor conditions. He criticized Britain for not tackling its shadow economy that employs illegal migrants.

Former Conservative Home Secretary James Cleverly criticized Labour’s lack of action despite their promises to “smash the gangs.” New Home Secretary Yvette Cooper blamed traffickers for using unseaworthy boats and risking lives even in poor weather conditions.

MIGRANT CROSSINGS Surge: Lives at Risk in English Channel Crisis

04 September 2024 — Migrants continue to risk their lives crossing the English Channel, highlighting a growing crisis for France and the U.K. This comes shortly after a tragic incident where a dozen migrants lost their lives. The mayor of Wimereux, Jean-Luc Dubaële, called for stronger action from both governments to address the issue.

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.

The overcrowded inflatable had people crammed side-by-side with some dangling their legs overboard. French patrol vessels were on standby to assist if needed, underscoring the ongoing risks and challenges of these perilous crossings.

TRAGIC Migrant RESCUE in English Channel Exposes Border Crisis

The migrant crisis on Britain’s southern shore remains unresolved, contributing to the downfall of the previous British government. The new Labour government has promised action but has yet to deliver any meaningful results.

Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, criticized the new government for its inaction following the recent deaths in the Channel. He warned that he would hold them accountable just as he did with their predecessors.

People smugglers continue to exploit desperate migrants, leading to overcrowded and dangerous crossings. This year alone, 19 people have died attempting to cross the English Channel, while 14,000 have successfully made it across — a nearly 20% increase from last year.

UNSPOKEN HORROR: Sudan’s Silent Genocide Ignored Despite Massive Displacement and Death Toll

27 November 2023 — A shocking 5.6 million people have been forced from their homes in Sudan, with a death toll reaching an estimated 9,000. This crisis has been unfolding since the start of the year, according to United Nations reports.

Despite the challenges, The World Food Program (WFP) has succeeded in delivering food to over 3 million people in Sudan.

The WFP spokesperson voiced concern over their stretched resources saying, “Our humanitarian dollar is being stretched to the breaking point.” In contrast to large-scale protests seen across Europe and parts of the U.S over international conflicts like Gaza, only around 600 people have reportedly protested against these atrocities despite more than 6 million being displaced due to this conflict.
