7-year-old girl drowns as boat carrying 16 migrants capsizes in English Channel; boat was "probably stolen" and unfit to carry the number of passengers. The incident occurred off the coast of Dunkirk in France, with the girl's parents, pregnant mother, and three siblings also on board. All passengers were transported to a hospital in Dunkirk, and their lives are not believed to be at risk. This year, over 2,000 migrants have crossed from France to the UK, a 32% decrease compared to the same period last year.
