One person has died and more than 60 others have been rescued after a small boat carrying migrants capsized while attempting to cross the English Channel overnight, French maritime authorities confirmed on Sunday.
The vessel broke apart near Boulogne-sur-Mer, a port city in northern France, prompting a major rescue operation involving both French and British teams. A total of 62 people were pulled from the water, according to the Maritime Prefect of the Channel and the North Sea.
