GRAVELINES, FRANCE - JUNE 29: A group of people, some wearing lifejackets, wade into the sea and board an inflatable boat on June 29, 2025 in Gravelines, France. French officials have agreed to changes that will allow police to intercept small boats within 300 metres of the French shoreline, in a bid to curb migrant crossings of the English Channel. The move has been welcomed by UK authorities, who see it as a step toward stronger border enforcement. However, charities have raised concerns that the new measures could lead to more deaths, warning that migrants may resort to even more dangerous routes. This year has already seen a record number of Channel crossings, with over 18,000 migrants arriving in the UK from northern France. (Footage by Jason N. Parkinson/Getty Images)
