A tragic incident occurred on Sunday when a migrant boat sank in the English Channel, resulting in the death of an Indian national, approximately 40 years old. French officials reported that the man suffered a cardiac arrest shortly after the overloaded dinghy left Tardinghen, near Calais. This incident marks the third deadly sinking in ten days, contributing to a record year for migrant crossings, with at least 57 fatalities in 2024. The UK Home Office is intensifying efforts to combat people-smuggling gangs, as crossings surge due to favorable weather conditions, surpassing last year’s total.
