Podcast: Refugee charities react to Channel tragedy

We’ve been speaking to refugee charities about a tragedy in the Channel.

A small boat trying to cross to Kent capsized off the French coast yesterday – killing two adults and two children aged just 5 and 8.

Several other people were rescued and taken to hospital.

It was one of hundreds of boats to make the dangerous journey so far this year – as people continue to risk their lives in hope of finding safety.
