A rescue operation is underway after at least 10 migrants died when their vessel capsized while crossing the Channel from France to Britain, La Voix du Nord newspaper reported.
At least 10 migrants died on Tuesday after the vessel they were in capsized on its way across the Channel from France to Britain, La Voix du Nord newspaper reported, with a major operation underway to rescue over 50 people. A French coast guard spokesperson earlier said 10 people were in a critical condition. The British coast guard did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Channel is one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and currents are strong, making the crossing on small boats dangerous. In August, two people were found dead after a boat carrying migrants trying to cross the Channel ran into difficulties.
