Record pe Canalul Mânecii: 230 de migranți într-o barcă

A small boat carrying 230 people reached the UK, setting a new record for the number of individuals crossing the English Channel in one vessel. The previous record was 165. The UK Home Office criticized the dangerous practices of human trafficking networks, which are overcrowding boats not designed for such journeys. Despite the record number of people on board, the total crossings this year are lower than in previous years. The UK government is working with France to reduce crossings, having agreed on a £662 million deal to enhance border controls. Nigel Farage labeled the situation a national security emergency.
