A 16-year-old from Sudan who disappeared at sea has been found dead on a French beach. French politicians believe the boy, whose body was found in Calais, went missing while attempting to cross the English Channel in a small boat. A search operation began after another migrant was found with hypothermia on the
shore at about 02:00. He told authorities that his friend, who could not swim, was missing after their makeshift boat capsized.

Although Britain takes a much smaller number of asylum seekers than some other European Union countries, the British Home Secretary, Priti Patel, blamed the death of this boy on people smugglers but there were no such gangsters in this incident. Two refugees had stolen a flimsy inflatable dinghy which was not up to the English Channel crossing. There is a better way to process asylum seekers, especially unaccompanied minors. They should be able to apply for asylum while still in France if they want to go to Britain. This would avoid the risk of a perilous channel crossing.
