Officials believe the two victims are of Sudanese origin.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Utopia 56, a migrant aid association, described the two victims as a 16-year-old child and a 20-year-old woman. One other victim \u2013 a pregnant woman \u2014 was in critical condition, the group said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t see the end of this story. No one has the real solutions. And it\u2019s tragic,\u201d Paulette Juilien-Peuvion, the mayor of Neufchatel-Hardelot, told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>She said she was sad to see \u201cthese young people trying to flee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were notably pregnant mothers among them. I heard about a pregnant mother who also had another child with her,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The boat set out to sea south of Neufchatel-Hardelot,\u00a0about 12 kilometres (seven miles) south of Boulogne-sur-Mer, during the night from Saturday to Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>But \u201cthe engine wouldn\u2019t start\u201d and the boat began to drift, Marx said.<\/p>\n<p>Seventeen people were rescued at sea and taken to Boulogne-sur-Mer.<\/p>\n<p>The boat with the remaining 65 people on board eventually ran aground on a beach near Neufchatel-Hardelot, he said, adding that the two women had been found \u201cdead inside the boat\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey did not drown,\u201d he said, indicating that the two most likely died from \u201csuffocation, as unfortunately often happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The mayor of Neufchatel-Hardelot said the two women suffered cardiac arrest, suggesting that they might have been \u201ccrushed at the bottom of the boat when there are so many on board.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Policies are killing\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Three others suffered chemical burns \u201cdue to a mixture of fuel and seawater,\u201d the prefecture said.<\/p>\n<p>Fourteen more people had minor injuries and five of them were taken to hospital, officials said, citing the updated figures.<\/p>\n<p>They were \u201cbeing treated and will be interviewed by border police to determine who is responsible for this crossing\u201d, Marx said.<\/p>\n<p>An investigation has been launched.<\/p>\n<p>Utopia 56 said \u201cthe repressive\u201d policies of French and British governments were behind the latest tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepressive policies at the Franco-British border are killing,\u201d the group said on X. \u201cThese lost lives are the result of political choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is urgent to put an end to this deadly situation: open the borders, establish safe routes for passage, and charter ferries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On April 1, two migrants died off the coast of Gravelines in northern France while attempting to reach the United Kingdom.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On April 9, two men and two women died near the village of Equihen-Plage, swept away by the currents.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, at least 29 migrants died at sea in the region, according to an AFP tally based on official French and British sources.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Britain and France signed a new three-year deal to stop undocumented migrants making the risky journey across the Channel in small boats.<\/p>\n<p>Under the deal, France pledged to increase law enforcement personnel on the coast by more than half, reaching 1,400 officers by 2029.<\/p>\n<p>According to French officials, the number of arrivals in Britain so far this year has been drastically cut from 2025.<\/p>\n<p>According to British figures, 41,472 people reached the United Kingdom illegally in small boats in 2025, the second-highest figure since large-scale crossings were first detected in 2018.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
