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.

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.
