A total of 140 migrants travelling in a single dinghy in the English Channel have been rescued and brought to shore in the UK.
The group were taken off the dinghy and transferred onto two lifeboats during the rescue operation. They were then transported to land in the UK.
The available information does not specify where in the Channel the dinghy was located, when the rescue took place, which lifeboat crews were involved, or the condition of those on board.
The latest known position is that all 140 people had been moved from the dinghy onto lifeboats and taken ashore in the UK. No further details were provided about any subsequent immigration or welfare arrangements.
