5:18Now PlayingAt least 12 people have drowned after a boat carrying migrants sank off the French coast in the English Channel. A pregnant woman was among those who died. Six of those who lost their lives were children.
The French coast guard said more than 50 people were rescued off the Gris-Nez cape, near the town of Boulogne-sur-Mer. Two were said to be in critical condition. The migrants were reported to be from east Africa.
The French authorities said the boat was overloaded and only a handful of those on board had life jackets. The disaster is the deadliest loss of life in the Channel this year.
