Summary

French emergency crews raced to save migrants attempting a perilous Channel crossing near Berck, despite official warnings of deadly currents. Around forty people crowded the beach, trying to board a “taxi boat” to evade authorities — some fled back into the water, struggling against powerful tides until firefighters pulled them ashore with life vests. Though the first boat left, others tried again, including children, as footage captured exhausted figures clinging to life and the raw danger of their desperate journey.
