A 12-year-old boy who survived a migrant boat tragedy in the Channel was escaping Afghanistan, where his whole family were reportedly killed by the Taliban.
The boy had been onboard a flimsy dinghy that capsized in freezing waters on its way from France to England, leaving four dead. He and more than 30 others were rescued by a fishing boat crew.
The crew's captain, Raymond Strachan, 54, said he was asleep on his boat when his crew woke him to say they'd discovered migrants in the water, clinging onto their boat.
