Child among four dead in Channel disaster, council says
Police Forensic officers head to the forensic tents erected at the RNLI station at the Port of Dover after a large search and rescue operation launched in the Channel off the coast of Dungeness, in Kent, following an incident involving a small boat likely to have been carrying migrants. Picture date: December 14, 2022.
A CHILD is believed to have been among the four people who died after a crowded dinghy packed with people trying to reach Britain sank in the Channel on Wednesday morning.
Kent County Council leader Roger Gough told a council meeting on Thursday that a teenager was among those who died.
Twelve lone children were rescued from the icy waters, and have now been taken into the authorities’ care, he said.
