Major rescue underway for 50 migrants after boat capsizes in Channel, with 10 in critical condition
The mayor of Wimereux, a French coastal town where Associated Press journalists filmed the crowded inflatable boat on Wednesday, pleaded for French and British officials to do more to limit the number of migrants attempting the often perilous journey.
At least 10 women and two men drowned in the body of water between France and England on September 3.
At least 12 people have died and two others are in a critical condition after a boat carrying dozens of people seeking asylum in the UK was 'ripped open' in the Channel.
