Family of young woman who died cross the Channel have 'no option' but to try again

THE family of a 21-year-old woman who died in an overcrowded boat trying to cross the Channel say they will have to attempt the journey again as they have no other options.

Dina al-Shammari was travelling with her three younger siblings aged 13 to 19 and her parents when she died off the coast of Calais on July 28.

The family, who are Kuwaiti Bidoon, a stateless Arab minority, fled the Gulf state in 2018.
