The RNLI has pledged to continue rescuing asylum seekers in the Channel despite recent attacks on volunteers and staff, according to charity leadership. RNLI officials said workers have faced online and physical abuse, and that "baseless" rumours have circulated claiming the charity houses asylum seekers or relocates them to undisclosed locations after rescue operations.

The charity stressed that small boat rescues represent a small portion of its overall work, speaking out following high-profile migrant landings in the region.
