A man was found dead after at least 1,500 migrants tried to enter the Channel Tunnel in Calais in northern France on Tuesday night, said police.
Expressing his 'sympathy with holidaymakers who are finding access to Calais difficult because of the disturbances there', British Prime Minister David Cameron pledged that the United Kingdom government would do everything it can to combat the crisis.
In fact, the UK Government has confirmed an extra seven million pounds as funding for new fencing at the terminal.
The prime minister further said Home Secretary Theresa May would chair a meeting of the government's emergency committee, Cobra, about the crisis.
The man who died on Tuesday night was a Sudanese, and said to be aged between 25 and 30.
He is reported to have been hit by a lorry.
The latest death takes the number of migrants who have died this summer trying to reach Britain through the Channel Tunnel to nine.
