Dinghy carrying 20 migrants arrives off Dover coast as crisis escalates

A DINGHY carrying 20 Syrian migrants arrived off the shores of Dover today as the RAF were called in to monitor the growing crisis.

At least 565 migrants crossed the Channel between Thursday and Sunday and more than 4,000 have made the journey so far this year - more than the whole of 2019. The turbo-prop plane flew up and down the Dover Strait as hundreds more illegal migrants prepared to make the perilous Channel crossing. “The A400M is a primarily a transport plane, it is not designed for surveillance. This looks like a rough and ready solution,” a defence source said.

The Atlas can carry a maximum payload of 37 tonnes of cargo, including up to 116 fully equipped troops and Chinook helicopters. They are desperate to be given the nod by smugglers who often charge thousands for a spot on a small dinghy before being shoved out in the direction of Dover.We do have an unacceptable situation of many migrants coming across the Channel at the momentMohammed Yousef, 34, who has been in the camp for several weeks after arriving from Sudan, said: “I’ve already risked so much and been through so much danger to get here.
