Hundreds of Illegals Cross English Channel Amid Reports of Armed Militants Gathering on Belgian Beaches

Nearly 400 illegal boat migrants reached UK shores this week amid reports that trained militants from the Middle East are gathering on the coastline of Belgium in a bid to break into Britain.

Some 394 illegals successfully crossed the English Channel from Dunkirk in France on Friday, the Daily Mail reported. This marked the first crossings in nearly two weeks, a lull largely due to inclement weather.

While nearly 8,000 boat migrants have made the often perilous journey since the start of the year, there has been a recorded decline of 44 per cent since last year, and 23 per cent over 2024. However, it remains to be seen whether the numbers will stay lower as the weather improves.

Regardless, the last crossings take the total to over 200,000 since the migrant crisis in the Channel began nine years ago.
