‘More people would be alive if rescue came quickly’ – Channel crossing survivor

Issa Mohamed Omar told the Cranston Inquiry how he wants justice, and is a voice for his fellow passengers who died.



Issa Mohamed Omar, a survivor of the 2021 English Channel crossing in which at least 27 people died, testified to the Cranston Inquiry that a quicker rescue response would have saved more lives. He recounted distress calls made from the boat that were not acted upon and described the harrowing experience of people dying in the water.
