A 16-year-old girl and a woman have died while trying to cross the English Channel from France in a small boat.
The boat, carrying around 82 people, ran aground on a beach in northern France, according to a local official.
Three other passengers are reported to be in a critical condition.
Utopia 56, a French organisation for refugees, said the victims who lost their lives were a 16-year-old girl and a 20-year-old woman.
It said seven people were transferred to hospital, with a pregnant woman among those in a critical condition.
The two women who died are of Sudanese origin, according to the secretary-general of the Pas-de-Calais prefecture, Christophe Marx. He had said they were believed to have been in their 20s.
He added that "the investigation and interviews that will take place will help determine the nationality of the two individuals".
Mr Marx said the women were found "dead inside the boat".
The official said the boat set off overnight into Sunday from Hardelot beach but "the engine failed to start" and the boat began to drift, Mr Marx said.
A total of 17 people were rescued at sea and taken to the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer. The boat eventually ran aground on the beach with 65 people still onboard.
Home Office figures show 325 migrants arrived in the UK in six boats on Saturday.
Last Sunday, more than 100 migrants were rescued from the English Channel.
A total of 106 migrants were pulled from the sea by the French coastguard after the dinghy they were travelling in broke down.
They were transferred to a rescue ship before being taken to Calais, according to French authorities.
