CAMPAIGNERS urged the government today to “end the deaths now” by “finding humanity” and introducing safe routes for migrants after a baby died in the English Channel.

The child was found unconscious after a boat got into difficulty off the French coast of Wissant in the Pas-de-Calais region on Thursday evening and was later declared dead.

The French maritime prefecture for the English Channel and the North Sea said another 65 migrants were rescued.
