Dozens rescued from burning boat in Channel
French Coast Guard forces rescued 157 migrants aboard a boat that caught fire in the English Channel near the port of Calais, according to a local government statement. This operation comes amid increasing dangers for migrants crossing the canal, as human traffickers push more people onto rickety boats, leading to accidents and fatalities last week. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak pledged to implement strict measures to reduce the number of migrants arriving via small boats, reaffirming ongoing cooperation with France and other countries to prevent dangerous crossings.
