<p>Fourteen people – including two children – were discovered in a boat in cold waters after an emergency helicopter search.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, UK Border Force is dealing with “ongoing small boat incidents” off the Kent coast, the British Home Office said.</p>
<p>It comes despite the escalating Covid-19 crisis in the UK where cases are rising every day.</p>
<p>French authorities were alerted at 2.14am to a call about a boat in difficulty off the coast of Berck.</p>
<p>A helicopter was dispatched to search for the boat in distress, which was found four nautical miles west of Le Touquet.</p>
<p>The migrants were rescued at 4.05am and taken to Boulogne-sur-Mer where they were handed over to border police.</p>
<p>Last week, more than 100 migrants risked their lives to make the treacherous crossing to the UK.</p>
<p>Bella Sankey from Detention Action last week called for migrants to be given “safe accommodation, instead of indefinite detention”, and the means to self-isolate if they need to.</p>
<p>Fears have been raised that 3,000 migrants living in northern France in desperate conditions are at high risk of contracting Covid-19.</p>
