Amid COVID-19 travel restrictions migrants opt for sea route to UK

Brexit Party leader Farage has accused French navy of escorting illegal migrants into UK waters. Owing to the Covid-19 travel restrictions, land routes used by migrants previously to reach UK remain closed. Hence migrants are opting the sea routes increasingly. Border patrols explain that if apprehended then these migrants threaten to throw themselves or their children into the water.
