The United Kingdom’s border force has been reinforcing its campaign against allowing migration into the country, attempting to deter people from taking the perilous journey to cross the English Channel. 

The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) is running a campaign to highlight the legal and natural dangers that people face while trying to cross the English Channel, and the impact of organized crime groups on the increasing number of people taking on the perilous journey.

In February, a Rudaw team traveled to Dover to see the efforts underway by the border force.
