Calais: Thousands of refugees to be made homeless as mayor pledges to destroy entire camp

Via Billy


Thousands of refugees living in the so-called Calais 'Jungle' will soon lose their makeshift homes as the northern half of the camp is set to be demolished.

Calais mayor Natacha Bouchart told journalists on Monday that the remaining half of the camp would soon be dismantled, though no date has yet been given.

"We can't wait any longer, we need to know as soon as possible when and how the Jungle will be torn down," she said.

"It is absolutely urgent for this town, its people and its businesses."
