Head of Lifeboats at the RNLI Simon Ling told LBC: "The whole situation and complexity around migration draws different opinion from all quarters but, for the RNLI, it’s relatively simple.
"This is about men and women, brothers and sister, all at this lifeboat station who went out to save fellow men, women, brothers and sisters. "Our thoughts are with those affected by this tragic incident and with the families of those who have lost their lives."
