During the operation, the French Coast Guard rescued 37 migrants “stranded on a sandy beach and isolated by high waves” off the coast of the Dunkirk region, according to a report released by the Directorate of Maritime Channel and the North Sea. .

He added, “The rescued were unable to reach the migrants, so a helicopter had to be used to transport them. They all returned to Khalis and were taken into custody by the Border Police.”

After a French naval vehicle found them and diverted them to the port of Bologna-sur-Mer, the navy also recorded the intervention of 55 migrants on a boat, including 10 women and two children.

Twenty-seven migrants were assisted by an SNSM boat in the Gravel area, while four migrants were rescued by a police vehicle on Sankat beach and returned to the port of Kalais.

In addition, the French Coast Guard on Friday, July 9, stopped 103 operations in several operations.
