A migrant boat carrying 105 people capsized off the coast of Wissant, France, early Monday morning, resulting in the deaths of three passengers. French maritime police confirmed that a 10-year-old child and two 30-year-old women were among the deceased.

According to reports, the vessel was an inflatable dinghy that encountered significant trouble while attempting to cross the English Channel. While the BBC noted the basic facts of the casualties and the total number of passengers, The Guardian provided additional context regarding the circumstances of the rescue. The Guardian reported that the incident occurred in calm seas and that emergency medical teams were flown to the site by helicopter to treat the passengers, though the three individuals were ultimately pronounced dead at the scene.

There is a slight discrepancy in the level of detail regarding the condition of the other passengers; The Guardian mentions that dozens of others were injured during the incident, a detail not explicitly included in the BBC report. Both outlets agree on the core facts: the number of people on board, the demographic of the deceased, and the location of the incident off the French coast.
