More babies and children arrive by dinghy at Dover today

This moving video appears to show more babies and children than usual among the latest migrants to arrive by dinghy at Dover today (2).The video shows at least five children being led or carried into the port by rescuers this morning after they made the dangerous journey into the UK aboard flimsy boats.Some of the children - as young as a few months old - weren't wearing lifejackets as they were led up the gangway, although they could have been already removed.Others were being carried by officials, rather than their parents, after making the treacherous trip across the Channel.The youngest baby was carried onto shore by what appeared to be a Border Force official.Another baby was strapped to a woman's front, and was wearing warm coats.A couple with two small boys, who appeared to be aged around four and six, were photographed being escorted up the gangway.Fourteen boats were photographed tied to the side of the port.
