A lifeboat in Dover rescused a boat thought to be carrying five adults and eight children – some as young as two years old, according to Sky News. It is understood that Border Force was deployed to intercept a second vessel, which was carrying up to 12 adults and heading towards Folkstone. The incidents were both caught on camera.

This comes after 16 suspected migrants, including two children, were also rescused while crossing the Channel yesterday.

French authorities alerted Border Force to the small boat heading towards Kent in the early hours of the morning before they were intercepted.

Earlier this month, seven suspected migrants, who said they were Iranian, were found off the Kent coast and handed over to immigration officers.
