Eighteen-year-old Heivin was among the survivors when five migrants died during an attempt to cross the English Channel in a small boat.
The migrant dinghy in which five people died was chaotic, overloaded and packed with people carrying weapons and fighting, according to one of the passengers who was on board, speaking exclusively to Sky News. Heivin, 18, confirmed the boat was stormed by a rival group of migrants, armed with sticks and knives, as it was preparing to set off. She said: 'People were fighting, people were getting stepped on, they were dying and being thrown off.
I would have suffocated. I thank God for that every day.' She said her group, comprising between 50 and 60 people, had arrived at the beach in Wimereux after following the instructions of the people smugglers who had taken their money in exchange for arranging a passage to Britain. Hidden away, they had waited for the smugglers to prepare the dinghy. She then saw police officers and was told simply to run towards the water.
