Four people have tragically died off the French coast while attempting a dangerous English Channel crossing. Two men and two women were swept away by strong currents as they tried to board a boat near Boulogne-sur-Mer on Thursday morning. Thirty-eight other individuals were rescued, though the boat reportedly continued its journey towards the UK with around 30 people.
