Rescue of About 190 Migrants in the English Channel Since Friday Night

French local authorities reported that around 190 migrants were rescued off the coast of Calais in northern France since Friday night while attempting to cross the English Channel in boats to reach Britain. The authorities did not specify the nationalities of these migrants. The English Channel is one of the busiest shipping routes in the world, featuring strong water currents. Human traffickers often overload the boats, causing them to barely float as they are at the mercy of the waves while migrants try to reach the British shores.
