Child and women die on migrant boat off France
A 10-year-old child and two women died in a crowded inflatable boat while attempting to cross the English Channel from France to Britain. According to a distress call from the boat, which was carrying 105 people, initial information indicates that overcrowding on the vessel led to the deaths of the woman and the child, while the remaining passengers were rescued. The incident occurs amid ongoing efforts by migrants to reach Britain via smuggling boats, while Pope Leo has called on Europe to welcome migrants as part of the family. Data shows that the number of migrants who successfully crossed the Channel until late September 2026 has decreased by more than 40% compared to the same period in 2025.
