At least six people died after a migrant boat trying to cross the Channel from France to Britain capsized. French authorities said another two people were possibly missing
French and UK rescue boats saved nearly 60 migrants and brought them to French or British shores, and search and rescue operations were ongoing, the maritime prefecture said.
"Several of the boats were facing serious difficulties," he told Reuters. "Near Sangatte they unfortunately found dead bodies." People smugglers typically overload rickety dinghies, leaving them barely afloat and at risk of being lashed by the waves as they try to reach British shores.
