Groups of migrants were seen attempting to cross the Channel in a dangerous attempt to reach the UK on Wednesday morning.
Just one day after at least 12 migrants died when a dinghy “ripped open” and sank as they tried to make it to the UK.

French police and coastguards chased the migrants on Wimereux beach to prevent people from risking their lives by attempting to cross the Channel in a dinghy. A handful of migrants managed to board the already overfilled inflatable boat, while others had to turn back and leave the beach.
It's unclear whether the heavily loaded dinghy successfully got to the open sea.
Tackling illegal immigration and preventing migrants from making the dangerous crossing has been a priority for both the British and French governments. More than 2,000 people successfully arrived in Britain on small boats over the past week, UK government figures report.
Last week, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged to work closer together to dismantle migrant smuggling routes.
The Channel is one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, and currents are strong, which makes crossing on small boats dangerous.
