Tragedy Strikes as Migrant Boat Capsizes in English Channel, Leaving Six Dead

A rescue operation is underway in the English Channel after a migrant boat capsized, resulting in at least six deaths. French and British forces are searching for 5 to 10 passengers who are still missing, while 55 have been rescued. This incident adds to the estimated 100,000 migrants who have made the dangerous crossing since 2018. The UK government is facing pressure to address the issue and has recently faced setbacks in its plans to house asylum seekers on a detainment vessel.
