A newborn baby was rescued by emergency services after traveling nine hours across the Channel to England on Saturday, arriving in a dinghy with a group of migrants, a British broadcaster reported.

A police officer wrapped the infant in a blanket after she was handed over by an RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) crew member, moments after reaching the shore of Dungeness in Kent.
