UK Interior Minister says Channel migrants' deaths 'horrifying and deeply tragic'

UK interior minister Yvette Cooper called the deaths on Tuesday of at least 12 migrants off the northern French coast as they tried to cross the Channel to England "horrifying and deeply tragic."

In a statement following the deadliest such disaster this year, Cooper criticized the "gangs behind this appalling and callous trade in human lives," adding they "do not care about anything but the profits they make."
