In a shocking incident, a people smuggler threw at least a dozen migrants into the sea after a brawl broke out on board a dinghy bound for Britain. The incident occurred shortly after the craft left a beach in the Calais region of northern France last month. Among those thrown overboard were young women. The fight erupted due to an argument about crowding, and in the ensuing chaos, at least 12 people fell into the water.

The migrants, all wearing life jackets, were fortunately rescued by French emergency services on jet skis and dinghies, located between one and two miles from the coast of northern France. Despite the traumatic event, no cases of hypothermia were recorded, and all rescued migrants, along with those on the vessel, were taken back to France. They received treatment for minor injuries and were later released.
