A 40 day old baby girl who died in the English Channel ‘slipped’ from her father’s hands as he attempted to hold her.
Baby Maryam Bahez and her family had fled Iraqui Kurdistan and travelled through Europe in hopes of reaching England, but they encountered difficulties while crossing the channel.
Maryam, her mother, two brothers and father Aras told Sky News they had boarded a boat in Wissant, France and wrapped her in a bin bag to keep her dry.
