A group of migrants boards an inflatable dinghy at the Petit-Fort-Philippe beach in Gravelines, near Calais, northern France, on Sunday, in an attempt to cross the English Channel to reach Britain. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham's government says stepped-up law enforcement cooperation between Britain and France has helped reduce the number of people making the crossing so far this year by more than 40 percent compared to 2025.
