In a single day, the number of migrants reaching the UK in small boats is at a height of 2025.
London: UK government data on Sunday showed that more than 1,100 migrant boats from France across the English channel reached the country on Saturday, which is the highest number recorded in a single day so far this year. Latest home office figures suggest that 1,194 migrants arrived in 18 boats on Saturday, which had settled in weather conditions, which had so far been brought to the provisional annual clan by 14,811. Last year, it is 42% higher than the same point, an increase that has pressurized the labor government, which had returned to power about a year ago, partially with efforts to disillusioned with the efforts of the previous orthodox administration, with efforts to get a grip on the cross -making numbers. After digging the conservative government’s plan to send the migrants reaching the UK by unauthorized means for Rwanda, the Prime Minister Kir Stmper said that his government would get control by breaking gangs and business models that maintain their smuggling operations. Since gaining power, the Starmer government has demanded better intelligence-sharing, increased enforcement operation in northern France, and adopted difficult rules in its immigration law. The French police officers were seen on Saturday as the migrants boarded a beach of gravel between Kallis and Dunkark, and the authorities were then portrayed to escort the boats. French officials said they saved 184 people. Defense Secretary John Hele told Sky News, “Very shocking, those scenes yesterday,” Defense Secretary John Hele told Sky News. He said that it is a “major problem” that the French police are unable to intervene to prevent boats in shallow water, saying that the UK is pressurizing to put new rules for French in operation so that they can intervene. “They are not doing so, but, but for the first time for years … we need a level of cooperation,” he told Sky News. “We have got the consensus that they will change the way they work, and our concentration is now to push them to bring them into operation so that they can stop these smugglers and stop these people in boats, not only on the coast.” Despite the efforts of French and Britain, the cross-channel route, which is one of the world’s busiest shipping lane, remains a major smuggling corridor for those who escape from conflict or poverty. Many migrant are the reasons for the reasons, family ties or asylum and easy access to work. The home office says that in 2024, 36,816 people reached the UK on small boats, 25% more than 2023 (29,437). With 45,774, 2022 had the highest number of arrival.
