DUNGENESS, ENGLAND - AUGUST 16: Families are helped ashore on Dungeness beach after being rescued in the English Channel by the RNLI on August 16, 2023 in Dungeness, England. Over 100,000 migrants have crossed the Channel from France to England on small boats since the UK began publicly recording the arrivals in 2018. Often, migrant vessels are intercepted by Border Force or the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). Last week, six migrants died when their boat sank mid-crossing, highlighting the dangers of the journey. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
