Thirty migrants rescued off Kent coast
Sky News was originally told there were up to 50 migrants rescued, but this figure has been revised to 30.
A spokesperson for the coastguard said the agency was"only concerned with preservation of life, rescuing those in trouble and bringing them safely back to shore, where they will be handed over to the relevant partner emergency services or authorities". On the same day, a ship operated by French humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders rescued 80 migrants from a rubber dinghy off the Libyan coast.
