Members of the Gendarmerie (French Police) patrolling the beach early in the morning. Migrants are seen trying to board a rubber dinghy on Équihen beach, about 50 km south of Calais. They hide in the dunes behind the beach waiting for a boat to take them to UK. About 70 people have lost their life trying to cross the channel this year. Federico Scoppa
