Channel smuggling gangs resort to 'mega-dinghies' as crackdown limits small boat supply

A BBC investigation reveals that the drop in small boats illegally transporting migrants to the UK is forcing smuggling gangs to adopt new tactics, including the use of 'mega-dinghies'. The gangs, running low on small boats, are loading more migrants onto fewer larger vessels, increasing the risks to human life. Prices for crossing the Channel have also surged, reaching up to €2,000 per person.
