Seven-year-old girl dies after makeshift boat heading to UK capsizes in France


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A seven-year-old girl has died in a canal close to Dunkirk after a makeshift boat carrying 16 people from northern France to the UK capsized, the prefecture in France’s Nord department said.

The boat, which was carrying 10 other children between seven and 13 years old along with the girl’s pregnant mother, her father and three of her siblings, sank with all onboard entering the water.

Emergency services, who were alerted to the incident around 7.30am on Sunday morning, said they could not resuscitate the little girl.

The location of the incident is 16 miles (26km) inland from where the boat would have emerged at the coast, raising fresh questions about the efforts the criminal smugglers use to avoid detection.
