GRAVELINES, FRANCE - JULY 02: Traffickers, (with their faces covered) try to manage the scene using sticks as migrants wade into the water to be collected by a small boat at sunrise on July 02, 2025 in Gravelines, France. Last month, it was reported that French officials were planning changes to policies that govern interceptions at sea, allowing police to intercept small boats within 300 metres of the French shoreline, in a bid to curb migrant crossings of the English Channel. The move, which has not been confirmed, would be welcomed by UK authorities, who see it as a step toward stronger border enforcement. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
