France: Authorities Force Remaining Refugees from Calais Camp

HeadlineNov 03, 2016

In France, authorities have forced the remaining 1,600 refugees out of the Calais refugee camp, known as “The Jungle.” Authorities have been in the process of demolishing the camp for more than a week and busing the camp’s approximately 7,000 residents to refugee intake centers across France. The final refugees removed Wednesday were predominantly children and teenagers, mostly from Afghanistan and South Sudan. They had been refusing to leave the refugee camp, hoping to win asylum in Britain, where many say they have family members.
