Lille, France
MORE than 100 migrants stormed the Channel Tunnel early Saturday, penetrating a third of the way through in an incident which halted traffic overnight.
The incident came as the daily flow of thousands of migrants and refugees flocking to Europe's shores showed little sign of easing, with 168,000 migrants and refugees arriving in September alone, UN figures showed. Most are seeking refuge in Germany or Sweden, but others have continued their journey to France in the hope of somehow crossing the Channel to reach England.
