Dozens of migrants drowned after a boat carrying refugees from the European country France to Britain capsized.
Dozens of migrants heading to Britain for a better future have been stranded in British waters after a boat capsized in British waters, according to foreign media.
Rescue officials did not say how many people were on board, but said the number of those who drowned was 31. The governments of the two countries launched air and sea operations to search for them.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) says this is the largest loss of life in British waters since it began collecting data in 2014.
The French prime minister expressed sorrow over the capsize, saying the capsize was a tragedy and the sinking was forced by human traffickers, while Boris Johnson lamented the need to crack down on human traffickers. Hinted
