Hundreds of migrants who were returned by the United Kingdom to France under the bilateral agreement known as "one in, one out" are missing, according to non-governmental organizations. The agreement allows each person intercepted trying to cross the English Channel to be sent back to the country from which they departed.
At least 41 minors are among the missing. The organizations making the complaint do not specify an exact total number of missing, but refer to "hundreds" of people.
France is the country involved in returning the migrants, while the United Kingdom is the country that sends back the intercepted people. Migrant support organizations are the sources raising the alert about the disappearance of these people.
The context of this situation is the bilateral agreement between the United Kingdom and France to deal with the crossing of the English Channel by migrants, one of the most dangerous migration routes in Europe.
