A BBC investigation has tracked down a people smuggler who organised a small boat crossing to the UK in which a seven-year-old girl died.

Five people died in a crush onboard an overcrowded small boat as it crossed the English Channel, including the girl, named Sara.

Smugglers had packed over 100 people on to the inflatable vessel.

As of 26 June, 13,195 people had crossed the Channel in 2024 – above the numbers for the same period in the previous four years.
