In a tragic series of events, multiple migrant boats attempting to cross the English Channel have resulted in several fatalities.

On Wednesday morning, two migrants lost their lives near Calais, while 48 others were rescued after their boat capsized.

This incident follows the death of a four-month-old infant last week, highlighting the perilous conditions faced by migrants.

The Channel, one of the world's busiest maritime routes, poses significant dangers due to overcrowded boats and harsh weather conditions.

Since the beginning of the year, at least 54 migrants have died attempting the crossing.

The UK and EU are under pressure to address these tragedies, with calls for safer migration routes and stricter measures against human trafficking.
