The child was reportedly trampled to death on an overcrowded boat. French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau confirmed the incidents, which occurred off the coast of Pas-de-Calais. These tragic events occurred as the number of migrants crossing the Channel continues to rise, with over 26,000 crossings this year.
