The French and British authorities have mutually sought help from European Union states on Sunday to aid in controlling the growing crisis in northern France caused by thousands of migrants seeking to make illegal and dangerous crossings into England. Recent events have revealed that Calais is apparently one of the most major loophole in the maritime border between the two nations and a huge influx of migrants are entering Europe to escape poverty and violence in the Middle East and Africa.
Almost every night from more than a week, thousands of migrants are trying to flee Calais and force their way through the rail tunnel linking France and Britain. These events have triggered a strong public reaction and severely disrupted the flow of goods between the two countries. In a joint letter published by British interior minister, Theresa May, and her French counterpart, Bernard Cazeneuve, on Sunday, they stated that “there are no easy solutions – and it is not for the UK and France to solve these problems alone.” It was added that “many of those in Calais and attempting to cross the Channel have made their way there through Italy, Greece or other countries. That is why we are pushing other member states – and the whole of the EU – to address this problem at root.”
Dozens of people have lost their lives trying to enter Britain. In response to serious public outcry, UK Prime Minister David Cameron is anticipated to install some extra security measures agreed with French President Francois Hollande on Friday.
