法国和英国联合救援队在英吉利海峡成功救出157名移民[2]。这艘船在试图前往英国时引擎着火并开始分解[2]，其中103人由法国船只救出，54人由英国船只救出[2]。所有获救者均被送往法国北部的布洛涅港进行医疗评估[2]，未报告人员伤亡[1]。
这起事件发生在周二上午，船只从诺曼底海岸于周一出发[2]。过夜期间还有5人获得协助被送至布洛涅港[2]。上周英吉利海峡的小船渡海尝试中曾有4人丧生[2]。英法政府今年早些时候签署了数百万欧元的协议以减少小船渡海人数[2]。
French and British rescue teams saved 157 migrants whose vessel caught fire in the English Channel [1][2]. The boat's engine ignited as it attempted to reach the United Kingdom, and the vessel subsequently began to break apart [2]. French maritime authorities coordinated the operation, with 103 migrants rescued by French vessels and 54 rescued by British teams [2]. All survivors were transported to Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern France for medical evaluation [2]. There were no reported casualties from the incident [1].
The incident occurred on Tuesday morning and involved migrants who had departed from the Normandy coast on Monday [2]. The previous week had seen four migrants die during attempted crossings in the same waters [2]. Earlier this year, French and British governments signed a multi-million euro agreement aimed at reducing the number of small boat migrants attempting to cross the Channel [2].
