The photo makes the headlines the voice of the North. Vacationers splash around, feet in the water, on the beach of Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais), Tuesday July 18, facing canoes, which are preparing to set sail. On board, migrants trying to cross to the United Kingdom. The Utopia 56 association reports “dozens of exiled people” having “took the sea”, in front of police and vacationers.
A journalist from the Voice of the North estimated only one “fifties migrants were forced to stay on dry land. Lack of space.” Several other departures have been recorded, in particular on the beach of Sangaette. “17 events were recorded. 11
attempts were intercepted by the French authorities and 6 crossings arrived
in Great Britain”certifies the prefecture of Pas-de-Calais to the Voice of the North.
