One migrant has died and a further 71 were rescued after their boat deflated in the English Channel, the French coastguard has said.
Patrols off the coast of Gravelines in northern France on Wednesday saw people in the water, sparking a rescue operation aided by the British Border Force and RNLI.
The maritime prefecture said 59 people were brought on board the French ship PSP Cormoran, including an unconscious person who could not be resuscitated by the medical team.
A British vessel, the Border Force Ranger, also saved 13 people from the water, and both ships took the group of people to Calais.
