People living in the cluster of small migrant camps on the fringes of Calais are taking more and more risks to reach UK shores.

This week, 14 migrants were rescued from 2 dinghies in the Channel. In the past two months more than 100 people, mostly Iranians, have attempted the treacherous crossing.
