Migrants' boats taken from the sea near our coast, what is going on?

Recently, boats with migrants have been spotted near the Dutch and Belgian coasts, raising concerns about a potential shift in smuggling routes. In Belgium, two migrants were found suffering from hypothermia, while a boat with around thirty migrants drifted off the coast before being rescued by the French coast guard. The migrants are primarily aiming for the UK, with many waiting in camps in northern France. Authorities suggest that smugglers are adapting their methods, picking up migrants along the coast rather than directly crossing the Channel. The number of boats appears to be increasing due to favorable weather conditions and the end of the tourist season. Most individuals on these boats are single men, reflecting the dangers of migration. Belgian police are increasing patrols and support, while the Dutch coast guard is monitoring the situation closely.
