71 migrants intercepted in English Channel
Seventy-one migrants were intercepted on several boats in the English Channel overnight, with some needing hospitalisation for hyperthermia, French and British authorities said yesterday.
French sea rescuers received an alert in the early morning hours of a boat transporting 14 migrants who needed rescuing.
They were found in a state of hyperthermia and brought to a hospital in Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern France, joining eight others admitted a short while earlier, regional officials said.
