In France, authorities are continuing to clear and demolish the Calais refugee camp, known as “The Jungle.” Hundreds of the remaining 1,500 asylum seekers, most of whom are children and teenagers, are being forced onto buses and sent to undisclosed locations across France today. Tuesday night, police in riot gear used tear gas against some of the asylum seekers protesting the demolition of the camp. Meanwhile, in Paris, police are cracking down on refugee encampments that have been growing as the Calais camp is shut down by authorities. On Monday just before dawn, riot police evicted thousands of refugees from their encampment near a Paris metro station. This is Afghan refugee Sakib Dawood.

Sakib Dawood: “Nobody’s happy, and nobody wants to stay here. You know, it is not polite, it is not OK. If you don’t have a home, you’re homeless. The weather is cold, and nobody wants to stay in the street.”
