Abstract
‘English Channel: Girl, 7, dies after boat capsizes near Dunkirk in France’, reads the headline on March 4 (BBC 2024). A seven-year-old girl died when a small boat attempting to reach the English Channel capsized. The boat was carrying 16 migrants when it sank off the coast of Dunkirk. The girl’s parents and her three siblings survived and were taken to a hospital in Dunkirk. According to local authority Préfet du Nord, the vessel was ‘probably stolen’ and was too small to support the amount of people on board. Already this year 9 people have drowned attempting the journey, compared with 12 for the whole of 2023.
