Channel crossings: rescues and shipwreck in Pas-de-Calais
Late October, some thirty migrants were rescued at Loubet basin in Boulogne-sur-Mer, while the SNSM of Le Tréport intervened for a precarious boat with children on board. Two smugglers residing in Belgium were going to France to organize departures of "small boat". On November 1, a shipwreck at Equihen-Plage led to the hospitalization of five people, including a pregnant woman and a 2-year-old boy, and new crossing attempts were reported in the Montreuillois and at Berck. On November 2, some forty exiles were brought back to the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer, one of them slightly injured.
