Number of small boats crossing Channel down, officials say | BBC News


Border officials in the UK and France have said there has been a "really significant" drop in the number of migrants crossing the English Channel this year in small boats.

Official figures are down by over a third compared with 2022.

The UK has helped to fund a doubling of French police patrolling the border along with other measures like drones.

But tens of thousands of migrants remain ready to attempt the dangerous journey.
