Nearly two hundred migrants made the dangerous journey across the English Channel on Monday as human traffickers continued to exploit improved weather conditions. A total of 183 people were crammed onto three small boats, with Home Office sources admitting that a surge was expected as calmer seas returned.
The crossings came just a day after almost six hundred people risked their lives attempting to reach Britain on Sunday. Smugglers have been taking full advantage of the calmer weather in one of the world’s busiest shipping routes, reported the Express.
