Original title: 210 immigrants were in danger when trying to cross the English Channel and arrived in Britain, which has been rescued by France
French authorities said on November 9 local time that more than 200 immigrants were in danger when crossing the English Channel in a simple boat. At present, all of them have been rescued and brought back to the northern coast of France.
According to Agence France Presse reported on the 10th, the French authorities said in a statement on the 9th that in seven separate operations from the evening of the 8th to the 9th, 210 immigrants, including four women and one child, were in danger when crossing the English Channel in a simple boat. The French rescued them and brought them back to the northern coast of France. It is reported that these immigrants tried to cross the English channel to Britain.
It is reported that since the end of 2018, more and more immigrants have tried to cross the channel to reach the UK. Although the relevant authorities have issued a warning that the channel is very busy, affected by strong ocean currents and low temperatures, and it is very dangerous to cross by themselves, immigrants have never stopped trying. Lieutenant general Philippe dutrieux, who is responsible for the forces along the Strait, said that about 15400 immigrants tried to transit in the first eight months of 2021.
