VIDEO: 90% drop in UK-bound migrants taking their chances on the Flemish coast | VRT NWS: news

Greater security at Flemish ports, a new taskforce to clamp down on people-trafficking and the use of intel gleaned from mobile phones belonging to victims and suspects have all led to a sharp fall in the number of UK-bound migrants ending up on the Flemish coast. The pull of northern France, where chances of success are greater, is stronger. In comparison with 2018 there has been a 90% drop in UK-bound migrants taking their chances on the Flemish coast.
