It was reported on Wednesday that 27 people who were in hopes of migrating to England died whilst trying to cross Calais to Dover.

This recorded the highest number of deaths of persons trying to use the English Channel. According to France's interior minister Gerald Darmanin, these people included 17 men, seven women (including a pregnant woman) and three children.

Some of the people living in the poor conditions in France when interviews by BBC revealed that they were running away from poor conditions in France. Some said their tents were being ceased by the French police and they thought the UK will have better conditions. These people displaced from countries like Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries in the African continent due to wars or (and) natural disasters to seek asylum in France.

Shockingly, more boats arrived a day after the 27 people drowned in the sea. It is reported that, a group of people wearing life jackets were seen huddled together onboard near Dover as they peddled their way to the UK on Thursday morning.

Out of the 27 dead, two survived. One Iraqi and the other Somalian who are being treated in a French hospital for severe hypothermia, the minister revealed.

About 40 migrants were seen near Dover and have been brought to Dover by the lifeboat Charity the RNLI this morning.

At the moment, the officials of the two countries are working on regulating the situation.
