Increase in the number of migrants crossing the sea to the UK

These are the cases of crossing the sea to the UK after 11 days of no recorded cases of illegal migration by this route due to rough seas and strong winds.

Since the start of this year, an estimated 7,000 migrants have crossed the sea to Britain by small boat, more than three times the number recorded at the same time last year and more than six times the same period in 2020.

The number of people crossing illegally to the UK continues to rise despite the government last month announcing plans to send illegal migrants arriving in the UK to Rwanda, where they will be allowed to apply for permanent residence. .
