Migrants Resume Channel Crossings In 2024

WIMEREUX, FRANCE - JANUARY 19: An aerial view shows sand dunes rolling down to a beach known to be used by migrants attempting to cross the English channel, on January 19, 2024 near Wimereux, France. The first boats of 2024 carrying migrants across the English Channel from France began arriving in the South of England on 13 January. Just a day later five migrants drowned off the coast of France attempting to cross. This week, the UK parliament is debating the government's plans to send migrants who arrive by small boats to Rwanda. (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images)
