Family of woman who died in Channel say they will try to reach the UK again

Dina AI Shammari, 21, was with her parents and three teenage siblings when she was crushed to death in an overcrowded dinghy off the coast of Calais on 28 July.

Her mother, Amira AI Shammari, 52, said the family arrived in France at the start of last month and had attempted the crossing five times before the night her daughter died.

The family are Bidoon, a stateless Arab minority, and previously fled Kuwait in 2018. Asked if they would try to cross again, she said: "We have no options here, where should we go? Who's going to give us the protection? We have to do that again."
