Six men have been found guilty of manslaughter over the worst migrant disaster in the English Channel which saw 27 deaths.
Back in November 2021, a group of men, women and children drowned when their dinghy deflated on the perilous journey between France and the UK.
Four people remain unaccounted for.
The victims were Iraqi Kurds but also a number of Afghan, Ethiopian, Iranian, Somali, Vietnamese and Egyptian nationals.
The youngest known victim was a seven-year-old girl, officials confirmed.
Authorities said 15 men, seven women and two teenagers also died in the disaster.
