More than 880 people arrive in small boats in a day
More than 880 migrants have arrived in the UK in a single day after crossing the Channel – a new record for the year so far.
Home Office figures show 882 people arrived in 15 small boats on Tuesday.
That was the highest daily total since October 2022, when 1,047 people arrived in UK waters in one day.
The latest crossings bring the total number of arrivals for June to 1,865 people, with 12,313 making the crossing so far this year.
The total so far for 2024 is higher than at the same point in 2022 and 2023.
As off 18 June in 2023, 10,472 people were recorded as making the crossing, compared with 11,659 in 2022.
By 18 June in 2023, the monthly total was 2,862, compared with 2,082 in 2022.
A total of 29,437 people came to the UK on small boats via the Channel in 2023.
That was a drop from the 2022 total of 45,755, which was the highest number since figures began to be collected in 2018.
In the last six and a half years, 126,658 people have arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel.
The Home Office said: “We continue to work closely with our French partners to prevent crossings and save lives.”
