(BBC) More than 1,000 migrants crossed the English Channel on Sunday in 25 boats, the Ministry of Defence has said.
It brings the total number of migrants making the journey from France this year to 34,672 people.
The MoD said they detected 1,065 people making the crossing on Sunday. There were no reports of “uncontrolled landings.”
Last year, 28,526 people are known to have crossed the Channel in small boats — up from 8,404 in 2020.
The Home Office said migrants who travel through safe countries to enter the UK “will not be allowed to start a new life here.”
