On 15 December two more migrants died on the same day in two separate attempts to cross the English Channel
Four migrants died between Saturday night and Sunday and one was seriously injured near a beach in Zimmer (Pas-de-Calais) as they tried to cross the icy waters of the English Channel by boat, the French coast guard said.
“Four migrants died and one migrant in an emergency condition was taken to hospital” in Boulogne, the French coast guard told AFP, confirming information from the local newspaper La Voix du Nord.
The incident occurred at around 02:00 local time and law enforcement officers who were there “informed of the departure of a vessel and of people in distress at sea,” according to the coast guard.
“A large number of the wrecks were recovered from the sea by the forces of order that were there,” he added.
The intervention tug Abeille Normandie “which was on patrol in the area dropped its vessel into the sea to go rescue the castaways” and “then” the vessel’s crew “found people dead and unconscious in the water”, she continued source.
