French authorities confirmed the deaths on Saturday, adding that approximately 60 other individuals had been rescued from the incident.
About 60 people are currently being taken care of, according to Isabelle Fradin-Thirode, an official in nearby Montreuil-sur-Mer.
This incident brings the number of Channel crossing deaths to at least 25 so far this year, based on an AFP tally of official data.
Under a recent Franco-British scheme, the UK can return migrants after arrival if they are deemed ineligible for asylum, including those who have passed through a safe country to reach UK shores.
