September 2024 – Mer et Marine – The SNSM on the front line of humanitarian rescue operations

Migrant crossings between France and England continue, prompting an increase in rescue efforts. Since the start of the year, about 4,000 people have been rescued on the French side, with 41 dead and two missing at sea. “Let’s also acknowledge the SNSM volunteer rescuers, who play a key role in these operations with their boats and RIBs.” Local volunteers are tirelessly answering this call for help.
