France: Thousands Face Possible Eviction from Calais Refugee Camp

HeadlineFeb 23, 2016

In other news on the greatest refugee crisis since World War II, thousands of people in France’s largest refugee camp are facing eviction and the bulldozing of their makeshift homes. A French court is expected to decide today if the evictions can move forward at the Calais camp, known as the “Jungle.” The refugees have been encouraged to move into shipping containers, which some have compared to prisons, but aid groups say there is not enough room in the containers to house them all. To see our report from the Calais refugee camp, go to democracynow.org.
