Man dies after dinghy carrying 30 migrants capsizes in English Channel.

A man has died after a dinghy capsized in the English Channel, while the remaining 30 passengers were rescued, French authorities said. .

The number of people who capsized in the Calais region more than tripled last year, according to the French Immigration and Integration Office, which said that French authorities rescued 1,002 people in 2021.

British media earlier this month reported that, according to figures from the UK Interior Ministry, over 28,000 migrants made it to Britain by crossing the English channel in small boats.
