The UKвЂ™s Immigration Minister Kevin Foster, meanwhile, told the BBC on Thursday that his government was also determined to вЂњsmashвЂќ the вЂњreally evil business modelвЂќ of people-smuggling.

Both France and the UK must work together dismantling the smugglersвЂ™ networks, he said. Macron said France would continue to use drones and reservists in response to the situation - and seek extra mobilization from UK forces. By the time these migrants reach the English Channel it вЂњis already too lateвЂќ he said of the deadly crossing. In the coming days, Darmanin will be holding meetings on better preventing вЂњarrivals on French soilвЂќ coming from southern, northern and eastern migration routes, President Macron told reporters Thursday. вЂњThereвЂ™s obviously mismanagement of immigration in Britain,вЂќ he said. вЂњWe are saying this to our Belgian friends вЂ¦ We are saying this to our German friendsвЂ¦ And we are saying this to our English friends, that they must help us to fight against the smugglers who are international, who play with the borders,вЂќ Darmanin said.ДЄsked why the UK attracts so many illegal migrants, Darmanin pointed to BritainвЂ™s methods of managing migration and its thriving labor market. Meanwhile French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin urged more support from European neighbors, telling radio station RTL on Thursday that France cannot be the вЂњonly ones who can fight against smugglers.вЂќ ThatвЂ™s where the policy needs to change, on the French side.вЂќ The British politician added that the French вЂњare standing by where people are getting into boats and theyвЂ™re not stopping them. вЂњPeople are safe in France, and the best way to keep people safe is to keep them on shore, not in the hands of people smugglers in the middle of the Channel,вЂќ she added. вЂњThis was an entirely foreseeable tragedy that sooner or later one of these boats would capsize and people would die,вЂќ Natalie Elphicke told CNN near DoverвЂ™s harbor Thursday. вЂњThis would be the single biggest step we could take together to reduce the draw to Northern France and break the business model of criminal gangs.вЂќД®arlier Thursday, the Member of Parliament for Dover, England, where many migrants arrive from France, told CNN that the deaths in the Channel were вЂњentirely foreseeable,вЂќ and cast the problem as a border policing issue whose solution lay in France.

вЂњIf those who reach this country were swiftly returned the incentive for people to put their lives in the hands of traffickers would be significantly reduced,вЂќ Johnson added. вЂњAn agreement with France to take back migrants who cross the Channel through this dangerous route would have an immediate and significant impact,вЂќ Johnson said.

In a thread on Twitter, Johnson stated that both parties had acknowledged the вЂњurgency of the situation.вЂќ His proposal includes more joint patrols to prevent boats leaving French beaches, better intelligence sharing and immediate work on a bilateral returns agreement. Johnson on Thursday said he had written to Macron to set out five steps he believes should be taken as soon as possible to avoid further deaths of people trying to cross the English Channel in small boats. In a phone call on Wednesday night, Macron went further and urged Johnson to stop politicizing the migrant crisis for domestic political gain, according to a French readout of their conversation. The leaders agreed to step up joint efforts to prevent the migrant crossings - which have increased dramatically this year - but also accused each other of not doing enough. Authorities are working to establish their identities, Masrour Barzani posted on Twitter, adding that вЂњour thoughts are with their families.вЂќДЇrench President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson both expressed horror at the tragedy, with Macron saying his country would not let the Channel become a graveyard. Likewise, Iraqi Kurds appear to be among the victims, the Prime Minister of the Kurdish Regional Government in Iraq said Thursday. The majority of the victims were Iraqi citizens, FranceвЂ™s Calais port director Jean-Marc Puissesseau told CNN. One of the first rescue personnel to arrive at the scene, Charles Devos of the SociГ©tГ© Nationale de Sauvetage en Mer (SNSM), said he found the dead body of a pregnant woman. The dead include 17 men, seven women, and three young people who вЂњcould be teenagers,вЂќ according to the French prosecutorвЂ™s office.
