Children die in Channel hours after Rwanda act passes
A group of people thought to be migrants are brought in to Dover, Kent, by the Border Force following a small boat incident in the Channel, April 23, 2024
A CHILD was among five desperate asylum-seekers who drowned in the Channel this morning as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak passed his cruel Rwanda Bill.
Three men, a woman and a young girl were killed off the coast of northern France after a dinghy ran into difficulties — just four hours after the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration Bill) cleared Parliament.
Some 49 people were rescued by the French coastguard while 58 others refused to leave the boat and continued their journey to Britain.
