Calais Jungle: French Government to Clear Out 1,000 Refugees
15th February 2016
The French government has told over 800 refugees currently living in the so-called Calais Jungle that they will be expelled from the camp in the next few days.
The planned clearance of the southern section of the camp will also involve the demolition of three mosques, one church, three schools, a women and children’s centre, youth centre and legal lentre.
Also going is the vaccination centre credited with containing an outbreak of measles in the camp, the Jungle Books Library, a theatre and three hot food distribution points that currently serve 2,000 meals each day.
