A 10-year-old child and two women die in an apparent stampede during an attempted crossing of the English Channel, according to French authorities.

The incident occurs on a migration route from France. The reports say the victims are among the people involved in the attempt, but details about how the crowd situation develops and the circumstances leading to the deaths are limited in the available accounts. The outlets describe the event as a stampede and consistently attribute the information to statements from French authorities, including the ages and number of fatalities. Beyond confirming the deaths and location on the Channel route, the sources provide no further agreed specifics such as where exactly the attempt occurs, whether any other people are injured, or what authorities do next.
