Two #AsylumSeekers have died and one is missing in the Channel just hours after the UK and France failed to agree a new deal to combat crossings.
A rescue operation including a helicopter was launched after a dinghy carrying as many as 50 migrants including children got into trouble off the coast of Gravelines in northern France
Beim letzten Kontakt von #AlarmPhone in der vergangenen Nacht sagten die Menschen, sie würden von einem Schiff der sog. 'Libyan Coast Guard' aufgenommen und alle safe seien.
Wir sind froh, dass sie überlebt haben. Ihre Rückkehr nach #Libyen bedeutet jedoch keinen Schutz und keine Sicherheit für sie. #SafeRoutesNow

Tragedy in the Channel
Twelve lives were lost in the French/English Channel on Tuesday night as people fleeing to safety made the devastatingly hard decision to attempt to cross the channel. Many of those who perished were from #Eritrea, fleeing a brutal dictatorship.
This is the largest loss of life in the #Channel this year, where people risk everything daily for a chance of a better life. The European #asylum system is failing those most in need. We must demand safe and legal routes for all. No one should have to die seeking safety. Without the creation of safe and legal routes more lives will be lost. Governments must act now.
Freedom of movement for all!

'The idea that we should never experience delay is so ingrained in our culture that we twist “no extra delay” into “as fast as possible.”' -Andy Boenau
