Rescued migrants arrive at Port of Dover after five die in Channel crossing

The French Navy allowed a dinghy packed with #migrants to continue across the #Channel to Britain despite the #deaths of five people, including a seven-year-old girl, on board.
Three men and a woman died alongside the girl, who was crushed when people smugglers crammed more than 100 migrants onto the dinghy.
It crossed the Channel after setting off from Plage des Allemands beach in Wimereux, near Bologne, northern France.
Some 49 of the 112 migrants on the dinghy were brought back to shore or taken to Boulogne after being rescued.

Desperately fleeing the war in France, which ended in 1945!

Shouldn't they now be fleeing Britain because of the Rwanda bill in order to stay in Europe?

Only here for benefits. How many safe countries did they travel through?
