Fox News
Thirty-one people, including five women and a little girl, died on Wednesday after their rubber boat capsized while crossing the English Channel from France to Britain, in the worst disaster on record involving migrants in the waters separating the countries.
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said 34 people had been onboard, of whom 31 died, two were rescued and one was still missing.
"There are two survivors ... but their life is in danger, they are suffering from severe hypothermia," he said.
The nationalities and identities of the migrants were not known, Darmanin said, adding that four human traffickers suspected of involvement in the accident had been arrested.
