French authorities say they received call for help from overcrowded dinghy in early hours of Sunday
One person has died trying to cross the Channel in an overcrowded dinghy, as a number of small boats made the dangerous journey over the weekend.
Thirty-four others were rescued from what was described as a “migrant boat” off the northern French port of Calais, after a call for help was made in the early hours of Sunday morning, according to French authorities.
