MIGRANTS continued to take the dangerous journey across the English Channel today a day after 12 people died attempting to make the trip.

Authorities confirmed that a pregnant woman and six children were among those who died on Tuesday in the deadliest Channel crossing of the year after their boat was ripped apart and sank off the French coast.

Others continued to make the perilous journey just hours later, with photos showing dozens, including children, being brought ashore in Dover Kent by lifeboats and Border Force today and Tuesday.
