Three migrants lost their lives in a heartbreaking incident early Sunday while trying to cross the English Channel from northern France to Britain. The fatalities were confirmed following a rescue operation involving French emergency services and the navy's 'Dauphin' helicopter.
Approximately 50 individuals were stranded in the water and on the beach near Sangatte around 6 a.m., with rescuers managing to assist 45 people, including four who required hospitalization. Tragically, despite the efforts of medical teams, three individuals pulled from the water were unable to be revived.
