(BBC) At least 350 migrants have been brought ashore from the English Channel in the past two days, according to witnesses and official figures.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said it found seven boats carrying 254 migrants on Sunday — witnesses said about 100 migrants have arrived so far on Monday.
The government is addressing the issue by “cracking down on people smugglers,” the MoD said.
It is believed to be the first time there have been crossings in 11 days.
Some commentators had suggested the prospect of asylum seekers getting sent to Rwanda was already acting as a deterrent.
However, others had pointed out that as the weather had been windy in the Channel for the past 11 days that might have had a greater effect.
