French interior minister Bruno Retailleau said the child was “trampled to death in a boat”.

He said it was a “terrible tragedy” and people smugglers “have the blood of these people on their hands”.

Olivier Barbarin, mayor of the northern French coastal town of Le Portel, said the child was about four years old.

A migrant boat heading towards Britain called for assistance this morning.

Rescuers picked up 14 people on board the boat, including the young child.

An injured migrant on the boat was airlifted to a hospital in Boulogne.

The remaining passengers on the boat continued their journey, it reported.
