At least 24 migrants dead after boat capsizes in Channel, says French mayorDisaster a ‘tragedy’, says French prime minister‘Worst' ever accident in the Channel, says local officialThe drowning of dozens of migrants in the Channel on Wednesday is the worst ever accident on the route, a French maritime prefecture official has said.
“Everyone deserves to live in safety and it should be unacceptable to us that people have no choice but to make dangerous crossings in their search for this.” “How many tragedies like this must we see before the government fundamentally changes its approach by committing to an ambitious expansion of safe routes for those men, women and children in desperate need of protection?
Alistair Carmichael MP, the party’s home affairs spokesperson, said: “This is heartbreaking news. People are dying in the Channel because of the government’s total failure to get a grip on this crisis. The Labour peer, who reached England as a refugee shortly before the Second World War, said: “I think it is a terrible tragedy and that makes it worse is that many of us predicted that this would happen sooner or later.”
