US EditionFresh cases of diphtheria reported among asylum seekers, new figures show
- Three new cases of diphtheria among asylum seekers in England have been reported in August, bringing the total number of cases for 2023 to 77. The cases were the first reported since January and come after an outbreak of Legionella bacteria on the Bibby Stockholm barge, which prompted the removal of asylum seekers.
- Diphtheria is a highly contagious bacterial infection caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae that produces a toxin. The UK Health Security Agency data reveals the increase in cases and puts pressure on the government to address the situation and ensure the safety of asylum seekers.
- Along with the outbreak and new cases of diphtheria, there has been a significant increase in the number of migrants crossing the English Channel. In September alone, 1,271 migrants have been detected crossing, with a provisional total of 21,372 for the year. Immigration minister Robert Jenrick defended the government's immigration plan and highlighted a reduction in arrivals compared to the previous year.
