The first identified victim of the massacre in the English Channel is a 24-year-old Kurdish girl

LONDON – “The dinghy is deflating. We take on water and try to empty it. Don’t worry, I hope someone will come to help us, we’ll see you soon”. The last phone call ended like this. Shortly after, Mariam Amin ended up in the English Channel and drowned with dozens of other migrants: the current toll speaks of 27 deaths, but the authorities fear that there are many more.
