Eight die aboard dinghy in new Channel tragedy

Six more were treated in intensive care - including a 10-month-old baby with hypothermia.

Around 60 people were squeezed on to the dinghy, which got into difficulty off the coast at Ambleteuse, near Calais, just after 1am.

The French coastguard said it looked after 53 survivors on the beach.

One rescue worker said: "Bodies were being taken up on to a ramp at Ambleteuse yet by 7am a second boat departure took place there, too.

"Boats have been setting off in the area throughout the weekend - there have been non-stop rescues."

On Saturday alone, 801 people arrived in the UK on 14 boats, according to the latest Government data. It's the second highest daily tally so far this year.
