Moral Mixdown – Tragedy in the English Channel
Twenty-seven people drowned in the English Channel on 24 November 2021 – migrants who were attempting a crossing from France in an inflatable dinghy.

The 27 people are believed to come from a range of countries including Kurdish Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Ethiopia.
