Loon-Plage (France) (AFP) – "Crossing the Channel, it's playing with our lives," Hajji Mahmud acknowledged. But despite the dangers, the Afghan migrant remained determined to attempt the crossing, even after the deaths of at least six of his countrymen early Saturday when their vessel sank.
In the makeshift camp at Loon-Plage on the north coast of France, some 15 tents were scattered behind an embankment near a pile of burning rubbish.
