Four people were killed when a boat carrying migrants from France that was headed for British shores sank early on Wednesday, according to the British government.
Lifeboats, helicopters, and rescue teams working with the French and British warships responded to the tragedy, which occurred as the administration of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made it a top priority to stop illegal immigration to Britain from people-trafficking criminal gangs.
An incident involving a migrant small boat in trouble was reported to authorities in the Channel at 03:05 (GMT) today, according to a statement from a government official.
- ‘Four confirmed deaths as a result of this tragedy have been reported following a coordinated search and rescue operation led by HM Coastguard,’ reads the statement. The spokeswoman indicated that there was an investigation going on.
