Large rubber dinghies face serious risks in the Channel, battling rough seas, unpredictable weather, strong currents, and heavy shipping traffic, often at night or in poor visibility, with little or no proper safety equipment on board. These overcrowded and unstable boats can easily capsize or be swamped by waves, leaving those on board exposed to freezing water temperatures, exhaustion, and the constant danger of drowning. At the same time, human traffickers are getting away with thieving, exploiting vulnerable people who are desperate for a better life, charging extortionate fees for a place on these perilous crossings, and showing no regard for safety or human life, treating men, women, and children as disposable cargo rather than human beings in need of protection.
