Migrant Concerns Mount Ahead of Calais 'Jungle' Camp Demolition
(Youtube / Euronews, October 24, 2016)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjcFjkrJZC0&feature=share_email
A day before the so-called jungle camp in Calais starts to be pulled down and concerns are mounting about
refugees and migrants about what will happen to them; where they’ll go and whether groups can stay
together are the main worries. The French government is planning to transfer those here to reception
centers around the country.
We’re talking to them and giving them as much information as possible because we want to try and ensure
that by the time it gets to Monday, instead of people being shocked or angry or afraid, they are pragmatic,
they know it’s gonna happen; they know there’s nothing they can do about it; they are ready and they just
say, “OK, we knew this was coming. It’s time to go.”
The squalid camp houses thousands of people who want to make it to Britain and has become a symbol
of Europe’s failure to solve the migration crisis. A massive security operation will be mounted on Monday
for the mass evictions.
This is the only camp in (the) provinces. In Paris everybody sleep(s) in the street side, but in this, there is
a camp. (It) is the only (one), but now there is the Monday (unintellible).
Britain is allowing entry to some unaccompanied children with priority being given to those with family
ties in the UK. This amid increased tensions between Paris and London over border security with Brexit
on the horizon.
