Background

Observation at the Calais “Jungle” camp

[...]
« At the time of the Mission, the Southern camp had been almost entirely demolished pursuant to an order of the Tribunal Administratif de Lille dated 25 February 2016. This involved with an estimated 3500 persons including 300 unaccompanied children being evicted to a different section of the camp, and the wide scale destruction of communal areas. At the time of the Mission, the only communal facilities remaining in the Southern camp were a bookshop, a number of schools run by volunteers and a makeshift Ethiopian Church. »
[...]
«  BHRC observed a large number of children in the camp within families and also a number of apparently unaccompanied children. BHRC understands that Help Refugees have concluded that 544 unaccompanied children were based in Calais as at June 2016. »
