Last night, police intercepted a small boat carrying migrants hoping to reach the beaches of the UK in the hamlet of Klemskerke in the family seaside resort of De Haan (West Flanders). Nineteen individuals attempting to make the crossing to the UK were on board. But their boat had got into difficulty. The emergency services brought the migrants ashore in Ostend. ‘We are noticing that the problem is spreading to the entire coast,’ police sources say.
