The UK government’s migration policy plans will only cause more suffering and death

Abstract

at least 27 people, including three children and a pregnant woman, lost their lives attempting to cross the English Channel. Their deaths are a tragedy and my heart goes out to their families, friends, and loved ones. As well as sorrow I also feel immense anger and outrage that they lost their lives. It did not have to be this way.Competing interests: SMC is an advocacy officer at MSF UK.
