The campaign aims to deter migrants in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq from crossing via small boats to Britain. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to crack down on smuggling gangs, which enable dangerous crossings. A report from the Home Office shows that 592 migrants arrived in 11 boats on Sunday, bringing the total count to over 40,000 daily crossings in small boats.
