		</div><p>A migrant has died on a freight shuttle trying to reach Britain, Channel Tunnel operator Eurotunnel has confirmed.</p>
<p>The incident on the French side of the Channel happened at around 6am UTC+1, a spokesman said.</p>
<p>Freight traffic was being disrupted but there were also delays to passenger services following the incident near Calais.</p>
<p>The death follows months of trouble at the port of Calais, as migrants have repeatedly attempted to conceal themselves in heavy goods vehicles headed for Britain.</p>
<p>It is the second migrant fatality to take place in as many weeks following the reported death of an Eritrean while trying to get on a train at Coquelles last month.</p>
<p>A Eurotunnel spokesman said: “Services are partly suspended, and the disruption is principally affecting freight services. Passenger services are running with slight delays.”</p>
<p>The incident comes days after around 150 migrants caused delays and cancellations when they tried to storm the Channel Tunnel terminal in France.</p>
<p>There have been increased calls for a resolution to the migrant crisis in Calais.</p>
<p>The Eurotunnel spokesman added: “We are working very hard to restore full services as soon as possible.”</p>
<p>The migrant crisis in Calais has escalated in recent months, with around 3,000 people displaced from countries including Eritrea, Syria and Afghanistan setting up camp near the port.</p>
<p>Last week more than 3,000 truckers had to queue for several days in high temperatures on the M20 following a wildcat strike by ferry workers in France.</p>
<p>Industrial action by ferry workers this summer has come on top of the problems faced by hauliers with migrants desperately trying to clamber on board their HGVs to the UK.</p>
<p>French authorities have faced claims they are not doing enough to safeguard lorry drivers from intimidation, violence and attempts by migrants to climb on.</p>
