Sarah’s story: death of a 7-year-old seeking asylum in the UK | BBC News

- A 7-year-old girl, Sarah, was among five people who died in an overcrowded small boat in the English Channel, as they tried to reach the UK.
The BBC has spoken to Sarah’s father and pieced together what happened - and why the family was taking such a great risk to reach England.
Sarah was born in Belgium and grew up in Sweden. She was one of three children of Ahmed, who had fled Iraq in 2009 and spent years trying but failing to get permission to settle in Europe.
Instead the family faced deportation to Iraq, so Ahmed decided that the family would meet people smuggler’s on a beach at night in France and make the sea crossing to England. It was a desperate move that ended in tragedy.

Born in Belgium, grew up in Sweden… wtf were the parents coming to England for????
The reporter said they faced deportation back to Iraq
@@dealwithit207its a lie. If born in Belgium she cannot be deported. Its a lie to make softie liberals cry and vote pro migrants..
ARE YOU ACTULLY STUPID ITS BECAUSE DUMB EUROPE DOESNT WANT IRAQIS SO THEY'RE TRYING TO FLEE TO A COUNTRY WHERE THEY'L GET A TINY BIT OF RESPECT PLEASE JUST USE YOUR BRAIN
Traveled to Belgium, Sweden, France and now risked their lives by boats for England.,.. this shouldn't be allowed!!
why has he been denied asylum in all those countries? Is there something we don't know about?
Am I supposed to be drowning in tears of grief?
Maybe at least be polite.
And be aware that these kids are made racist religious militants by their parents.
The kids themselves, on their own, are not evil.
So 3xplain why the little girl was in the boat with him and not his wife the 2 other daughters/ What was he trying to do here? If the girl born in Sweden isn't she a swedish citizen? Why would the children be deported?
Are you stupid his other 2 kids and the wife were under all of those people they could barely move but they didnt die because they're older so they're more stronger but Sarah is a little child who's body is still fragile
the father must been charged as an accomplice to murder. he says he just wants his child to go to school and a few seconds later they interview her teacher. Lock him up
Well said
Have you locked up your war criminal, Tony Blair, for destabilising his country? Learn to reason before you speak.
Wtf is wrong with you?? He has sacrificed so much for his family just for them to be safe and to have a place called home if that were you would you want that for your family too?
They were safe in France.
her father is to blame
That man should be in prison. wtf is he doing here being interviewed. ffs.
Understand the story before commenting brother
@@husseinala0045 I understand very well.
@@wardjunior1450 what do you understand?
you understand nothing little clownling.
I agree. The dad is responsible and those men are murderers.
Rip Sarah may ur soul rest in heaven..
Nice bit of propaganda, pulling on those heartstrings
We should block all boats to protect the children from drowning.
@@user-ds8rj2vc4v great shout
That is exactly what it is
Why BBC supports illegal immigration to Europe? Arab or Qatar stakeholders? It is becoming Al Jazeera
Very depressing. Wonder if it's true. Not the most reliable 'news' broadcaster.
Anyone would recognize the scream of a child that young... those other men/passengers involved in her death, trampled, suffocated her, ignored the father, I hope the charges are successful /should be sentenced for murder... all other passengers who are potential partakers in her death but not enough evidence should be deported, don't want that type of person here!!!!
Her father is responsible.
I am from uttar pradesh india
You as Britons must be amazed that today gorkha called themselves freedom fighters of India🇮🇳
He's from Iraq. NATO is responsible
sweden did this, not her father.
There are dozens of countries far closer to her home. Seek asylum there.
@@CheWangia-zy3gb exactly they stole what they owe him
Why not stay in France which is part of the European Union??
Because they can't speak a word of French, it's simple
France shouldn't be burdened with these non-Whites either.
@@nriab23 You think they can speak English???
@nriab23 Arabic is the second most spoken language in France...I wonder if they speak that?
Their plea to stay rejected number if times and deportation started. Have sympathy, at least of reading or listening to the full story.
Questions not asked . Where was the Mother . Where were the other Two Children ( Didn`t see them all together on the clip ) Only Achmid and Sarah . There is more to this than is being told . 14 refusals that`s a massive problem , if refused and then appealed and refused again , then they should have been held and deported immediatly
I think you haven't seen the whole video
Maybe he was bring her to the Uk to work, i dont want to think what kind of work, otherwise he would have left her in Sweden with the mother and other children, a mother and children never get deported
@bennathan7353 No, all the family are together. I read the report on the BBC website. They are talking more about what happened and about the whole family.
@@HooaLee-xk3gf Are together now , but were they all together on the boat trip ?
@gareth449 Yes, they were all together on the boat
UK really should learn something from Australia................................................
That was Australia when t was good. Now it’s 💩 like the UK
Especially seeing that London's population is 50% migrants now. It was a whopping 37.7% in 2017. India got its revenge for the Brits colonial rule. Hilarious.
@@Wtornado Yep Indians are awful 👍
@@Wtornado "rich" migrants. people whose opinions and skills are considerably more valued than yours. sorry but you're nothing. nobody.
We've been saying it for years and it's always fallen on deaf ears
Why always looking for asylum in Europe? Why not in Saudi Arabia, koweit or any other rich Muslim country?
And how can you be seeking Asylum in the UK if France is a safe country?
The reality is, that the moment they cross out of the country directly persecuting them, they can't be considered asylum seekers. At that point they're just illegal migrants.
Because the UK gives them money
Because they know such countries are better run than those under islam.
because those countries mistreat illegal migrants
exactly! the countries above mentioned are wealthy...prolly wealthier than the UK. These people...I don't understand. They are Islams but always wanted to go to the west to what??? Go to the Muslim country for god sake.
The thing is illegal immigration is bad for the host country and for the migrants who are often abused in various ways by smugglers
Oh won't someone think of the poor alien invaders 🙄
British writer and explorer Captain F.V. Raper (of the 10th Bengal) has written an eye-witness account of gorkhyani in the Asiatic Researches (vol. xi.)
At the foot of the pass leading from Har Ki Pauri is a Gurkhali 'chauki' or post, to which slaves are brought down from the hills and exposed for sale. Many hundreds of these poor wretches, of both sexes, from three to thirty years of age, are annually disposed of in the way of traffic. These slaves are brought down from all parts of the interior of the hills, and sold at Haridwar at from 10 to 150 rupees.

This was about an old time gorkha colony garhwal
Uttarakhand present day India
Later sometimes after that british and gorkha got in conflict in 1814 AD battle of nalapani dehradun garhwal
A gorkha colony
British won the battle with heavy losses
With such a fear british dropped the plan to make gorkha kingdom a British colony and settled a treaty at sagauli in 1816 AD
Present day nepal was formed
You will never read about gorkhyani from british despite they knew it very well
EIC was destroyed by the very poor people of up and bihar india

Considering the report, why would they be shocked
The bbc will now close down the comments to protect the daddy instead! 🫃🏻👨🏻🍼👨🏻❤️💋👨🏻😍😘🥰🤮🤡🌎🤑
The BBC doesn’t care
Poor little girl. I am so sorry for her and her family. Now this is different. He had fleed with his family and was at risk of deportation. He took the risk and paid the ultimate price. He fled for a better life and did not leave his family behind. Sadly he is now tarred with the same brush as all the single young criminals who hate our country. His story is different and people need to remember this. Its the ones that wish us harm and have every intention of milking our system. Read the whole story before you judge
He was refused asylum 14 times by multiple different EU countries, maybe you should read the full story before you judge, not that you'd ever get the full story from the biased broadcasting corporation tbf.

The father is responsible for putting his daughter into a very dangerous situation. And where were his other children and his wife? , if your escaping persecution then escape with all your family
The blood is on the father’s hands for endangering his daughter. This was his fourth attempt at illegally entering the UK, and the price he paid was his daughter’s life.
14 times denied asylum what was he thinking was gonna happen in the UK? He just didn’t want to go back to his city. Also It seems he might try again wtf?!
@@Sunshine-un5ww sadly the British government isn’t willing to take the silk gloves off and tackle the issue head on. These people don’t deserve our sympathy, they are criminals preying on our empathy.

Im a father. This girl's death is entirely her father's fault. There was no need to unlawfully migrate into Britain from another European country that is just as safe and rich. This is not about seeking refuge or even seeking a decent life. This is just pure hubris. One look at the sea should tell you its not safe to cross on such a boat
What would you know, you live in the UK with your corrupt government and you have doses of rhetoric thrown at you.
And you suck it up like its gospel.
u didnt watch the video, did u? they were literally facing deportation
Migrating from countries destabilised bt the west.
Don't blame her Father.
You sound like tory boy, out of touch and will believe everything your government tells you.
Check Amnesty Internarional, the majority of migrants do have family in the UK.
FACT.
Unlike your drivel.
The hubris comes from your government and their electorate.
You fell for "brexit".
Says it all.
@@mabiorkuoll back home to a safe city. He didn’t want to go back. Thats the real crux of this. He didn’t want to take his family back. That is not a refugee. He was denied multiple times in multiple countries because he is from a safe region.

We don't know why he left Iraq in the first place - maybe he had a family dispute and could face persecution/death at the hands of his brothers, who knows?

He wouldn't have taken such a risk if he wasn't desperate not to be deported.

They use children as human shields
It looks more sinister than that, if he cared for her, he would have left her in Sweden with her mother and siblings, it looks like he was going to make money out of her
They must do. They're the 'others'.

The father crying is so heart breaki g😭.Oh dear God, how terrifying is that for parents, imagine how is life for them there that they take such horrifying risk?
Everyone here seems to think that this man took his family on a dangerous route to get to England for the fun of it. What if he would be facing certain death or persecution by going back to Iraq? What if his daughters were going to be child brides and he wanted them to have an education? Don't assume you know what's going on in people's lives. He wouldn't have taken such a risk if he wasn't desperate not to go back.
Yes you don’t assume what’s going on, something very suspicious why a man would take a seven year old on a dingy across the channel when she could have been safe with her mother and siblings. Or even taken her back to Iraq, Only he and the traffickes know what was install for her on the other side
He gambled with his daughters life to save her?
In which case why did the other EU countries deny his claims 14 times and plan to send him back? If he wasn't going to be safe and had a legit reason to stay he could've appealed to the ECHR. He obv knew he didn't have a case and decided that it would just be easier to just come to no questions asked UK. Maybe you shouldn't assume you know the full story when you clearly don't either, and the BBC will always only tell you the side that suits their Liberal agenda.
@@peterwatson808illegal immigrants, should have never come to Europe at the first place
You assume he wasn’t safe, what if he just preferred a life in the West.

moral story don't travel by boats and if you truly love your children safety come legally. Poor child. Also England is too small for iraq,iran,syria gaza,all middle east countries to fit in. England itself a small island !!!
What about Czech’s, Polish, Romanian what are they doing here England is too small to take in all the European. Let’s not forget how many kids they bring with them too. England itself is a small island!!!!
Ya think he would of gotten the hint by now refused in 3 countries . The girl paid for his blind stubbornness.What a tragic shame.

Sarah is a hebrew name
You don't have to be white to be called Sarah.
@@LgiovanniFUnlikely a Muslim parent would give their child a Hebrew name

Why wouldn't he call his daughter sarah, its a popular middle sastern name, its because all muslims are racist psychotic bigots in your head right. Do you people hear yourself. What kind of arrogance and latent hatred do you need to have to think you know the mind of someone so remote from you.
Rip sarah hope her parents are haunted the rest of their lives by this death the dad needs to be jailed, they took a dangerous risk knowing this could happen. He took her because he knew if he took her he would be granted asylum shame on him.
They USE their kids as baits to enter!
No sympathy. What a selfish man.
My thoughts and prayers are with Sarah’s family.
The EU keeps letting them get on the boats.. The blood is on their hands. The EU allowed them into their borders, they've taken on the responsibility the EU should be looking after them. End of conversation.
Guess we don't care about the kids that die over here anymore
unfortunately, I've met some of those who seek refuge in Both South Korea and Canada. They have something in common: all of them come from wealthy families, that's why they manage to get to the West and other poor fellows have to stay in their home countries. One of them is my classmate, who studies in a developed country without having to work while we - the legitimate students - are struggling financially and are willing to do any legal work, but she is rich and she'll never be willing to do such jobs. She has started her refugee claim process not yet been approved. All she mentioned was benefits be granted as a refugee and with people from Syria, the success is almost guaranteed. Another fellow told me this was how the process works and, even if something does not happen to you but it happens to people in your country you can claim that it happened to you. People, work to earn a living, People in the West are all nice and decent and they have done a lot for many legitimate asylum seekers, don't abuse the system.
These are all lies there’s no such thing in Canada it’s very difficult to get asylum people from Syria are being deported everyday you have to prove your case with actual evidence don’t spread lies I work for IRCC you’re lying
but rich people contribute more to society and create jobs and wealth. struggling povvos like you are worthless to society. you'll probably be her employee one day. know your place little man.
Father killed his daughter
Stay away from trying to enter the UK illegally, you may well die trying. Ahmed killed his daughter, it is nobody else's fault. Try calling Iraq home. It is truly sad that the little girl has died by the hands of her father. NO MEANS NO. Sneaking in illegally is not the answer.
BBC though has a way of trying to put their audience on a guilt trip.
@nriab23 The sad part is that there are still the majority of Brits that fall for it day in and day out ...
how about you try calling iraq home Terry?
@MODDINGPRIME Why on earth would I do that, I'm from England. This guy killed his daughter even though he was living safely in numerous countries in Europe. He should of returned to his home country and tried to contribute to making it a better place. Wake up, ffs. Muslims want to come to Europe for one thing only, to eventually dominate, it's their goal, its the message in their book of terror.
And they want to come to Great Britain because its the best for freeloading. I, for one, am sick of working very hard for very little whilst others breeze into this country and reap the benefits my tax pound pays for... I can't even get a doctors appointment for over two weeks !
@@MODDINGPRIMEhe was born in UK unlike the illegal migrants who came illegally
For his children to be born and raised in Europe and then deported to Iraq a war thorn country for indefinite is another form of murder. The same way any British family would not take their kids to Iraq or Afghanistan for ever. He himself might be able to live in Iraq but his kids would mentally suffer.
May God bring peace to every country so people are not misplaced in the first place.
At least they will become devoted Muslims if they go back to Afghanistan. He figured having kids in the west would save him and get him in. I wonder what he truly did to get refused he definitely has done something and the governments know.
She was my cat with me.😢😢😢
She was my classmate.
We must stop these people from attempting to cross this very dangerous sea lane. Only then will these tragedies stop.

look up the definition of Illegal immigrant.
someone who lives or works in another country when they do not have the legal right to do this
They were settled in Sweden ,what more did he want, there was no excuse for putting the little girl on that boat..
So it seems he would do anything for his family not to go back to Iraq. Was it so unsafe for them there? Does he regret his decision?We dont know. We don't know all the facts. As much as i dont want the sheer number of migrants coming here to the UK, i cannot judge this man because i don't walk in his shoes.
But why leave France for the UK?
In a shockingly similar speech to that given by Yousaf, Sarwar angrily listed how many jobs in Scotland are filled by white people while speaking in front of the Scottish parliament in 2023.
why include the child in taking the risk?
He was trafficking her, probably already had a buyer lined up,
Trying to play the system. He thinks he stands a better chance with a daughter.
God 🙏🙏🙏 give peace to this father and family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So the girl was born in Belgium when her family lived there.Then they live Sweden and yet paid and tried to cross the channel.its not uk problems that people die crossing the channel.they were in Europe and Europe bosses are the EU.blame them.
The father is a murderer of her own daughter . He is the main culprits to put her daughter to die . No mercy on her father . They are greedy !!!
So he fled Iraq in 2009 & was denied permission to settle in Europe, I wonder why that was.
The little girl would still be alive if her dad didn't break the law
maybe should have stayed in France, the food isn't that bad. certainly not worth dying over anyway.
The worst thing for any parent is to outlive your children I hope and pray that they kind move on from this in some way but part of the blame is on them for taking risk, and also on those who knowingly trampled a child and looked away. I hope they are able to find a home somewhere within Europe to try a deport children who are born within a country, grew up in that country and are raised in that country but then say they are not native does not make sense
That's a more empathetic narrative than rest of the comments here. Thank you.
They were denied asylum multiple times. He knew that. He left 14 years ago from a safe city insisted on traveling by boat. He was declined asylum. What would he do if declined asylum there in the UK? 14 times? Because he doesn’t have a case thats why.
He was clearly trying to sell his daughter, something very sinister going on, he had loads of options but to take a seven year old on a small boat across the Chanel
WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE YOUNG GIRL DEATH !!!!!
What A Bars Dad! How can you put your 7 year old daughter at risk like that? He basically gambled with his daughters life. Poor girl!
So Sad 💔💔💔
Mr Alhashimi said he had been living in Sweden for seven years, and had been trying to gain EU residency - but was turned down because he was from the Iraqi city of Basra, which is considered safe.
Iraq is safe now. For the most part, with the expection of some areas of the country. Still a broken country though, i wont lie about it. The American , British, saudi/isis atrocities has really taken a toll on this society. The only countries that have been somewhat good to iraq is iran, Russia because they helped with isis problem. Maybe even china to some extent.
my mates go there for holidays, the young people are cool, they listen to metsl and hiphop and love western culture.
This POS simply wanted to climb the ladder and would crawl on anyone to get there.
She was safe in france its so very sad us her born an always lived in the uk just want a life and a future but nooo we cant we hace to suffer will all the illegal channel crossers this poor girls father should face jail his own doing

This happened and is happening because of the illegal invasion of Iraq. Where they had a leader in Saddam Hussein who was no saint but kept the country in order and it's people never felt the need to take life threatening journeys for a better life. We all know which country wanted Saddam to be removed to weaken the Arab nation's and that country is currently committing a Genocide, where not one Arab leader has uttered a single word of disapproval. Also the Iraq oil wealth is being syphoned off on an industrial scale by the oligarchs that have taken over since the disposal of Saddam. Where is that money being parked?
So sad😢😢
Finally BBC talked about its own country! 👏👏
If I bring my child to unsafe waters and my child dies on sea,then I would be convicted for that.
He gets the mic of the bbc instead.
This stupid , Nonsense Father is responsible for the death of the baby Girl.😢😢
Stop using children as news story's the parents knew the risk.
Poor girl
He knew how dangerous it would be
Father is responsible, it was illegal!
Sarah I doubt 🧐 that was her name and the girl was probably his wife
You are headed for a lonely future, I hope you find humanity.
Ooh mate that's below the belt. Probably true tho.
Wicked...
Probably crying cos he didn't get to consummate the marriage ..
you're a sick animal please stop communicating online you need help
Dont cross the channel. France is a lovely safe country.
That’s so sad! No amount of regret and tears can bring her back, it’s not worth it. Sorry to say but he put her in harms way, this types of risks are not worth it. I wish ppl could just stop this. But it’s easy to say when ur living comfortably. I’m sure living in Iraq would b better than losing family.
How did these men sit on her? Killed her? All of them should be deported.
this comment section is awful...
Awful people, these conceited privileged people think they can judge someone else's actions. Without empathy life is wasted. Be happy you're not like these others.
@@owenlong2501thx I really thought I was the only one with a shred of empathy left...
Thanks Lord for your peace
Thanks Lord for your salvation
I can’t hold my tears
Discusting behaviour of the parents forcing their child into such a dangerous situation when they are already on a safe country.
Did we watch the same video? Dude is facing deportation which was why he fled there.
@@jinraigami3349 So his application for asylum has been refused and he faces deportation to what would have to be a safe country under French law. At what point do we accept that there is no need for these people to endanger themselves and children by crossing the channel from a safe country? What line do we draw for excuses? Or are there none for you? Should we just have open borders for worlds populations and do away with border control to save money?
@@mac7040 He's been rejected 14 times and facing deportation back to Iraq. Why would he not want France to accept him? He and his wife even refused handout and were willing to work. All he wanted was his children to be able to go to school.
@@jinraigami3349 France should not have to explain why they don't want to give a foreign national asylum. Clearly there was a reason that has not been disclosed.
Again you seem to accept that every single person claiming asylum has honest reasons. We have liars and deceitful people everywhere regardless of nationality. But again do we just disregard this fact and let everyone and everyone in ?
@@mac7040 Didn't that prove that he tried his best, so he had to resort to this?
Great job there by French Police, maintaining Border Security.... probably supplied the pump for the boat.
