At least eight migrants died while attempting to cross the English Channel from France to the UK on September 15. The incident involved a boat carrying around 60 migrants that encountered difficulties near Ambleteuse, leading to the deployment of rescue crews. Survivors from Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Eritrea, and Sudan received medical treatment, with six individuals hospitalized, including a baby with hypothermia. UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy called the incident 'horrific' and emphasized the need for collaboration with European nations to combat human trafficking networks. This tragedy follows another recent incident in which 12 migrants died, highlighting the urgent need for international cooperation to prevent such losses. Activists argue that government policies aimed at combating smugglers may inadvertently increase the dangers faced by desperate migrants.
