In a heartrending incident off the coast of Audreselles, two migrants have tragically lost their lives after their dinghy capsized, mere hours after French police failed to intervene during their attempt to cross the Channel. The emergency, which saw the deployment of at least five rescue ships and a Coastguard helicopter, has cast a grim light on the ongoing migrant crisis.
The incident has sparked outrage, as it was revealed that French police observed but did not stop the group of about 60 people as they embarked on their perilous journey. The dinghy reportedly began to struggle less than a kilometer from the beach, leading to catastrophic consequences.
