Increasingly perilous crossing strategies for migrants. Smugglers favor passages via canals and rivers, kilometers from the sea, to reach England.
A few days ago, in Watten (North), a shipwreck caused the death of a 7-year-old girl. Rena was, with her parents and three brothers and sisters, on a small boat carrying 16 migrants. As the boat was "not sized to support so many people", according to the Dunkirk public prosecutor's office, the passengers all ended up in the water.
