Tragedy in the English Channel, the boat with immigrants sinks; many victims are

Several migrants have died off the coast of France while trying to cross the Channel, authorities said.

"Several migrants lost their lives," the Pas-de-Calais prefecture told AFP news agency, without specifying the number of victims or their origin.

"Tonight, several migrants lost their lives in the commune of Ambleteuse as they tried to reach Great Britain as part of a sea crossing of the Channel," said Pas-de-Calais prefect Jacques Billant, who is expected later to hold a statement to the media.

The incident comes just over a week after 12 people, including six children and a pregnant woman, died when a boat carrying dozens of migrants sank off the French coast. The September 3 incident was the deadliest loss of life in the Canal this year.

We remind you that the French channel has become the main route for Albanian emigrants who go to the United Kingdom./ Sky News
