French officials are expected to press ahead with plans to start dismantling the Calais refugee camp on Monday, despite concerns about the safety of thousands of children and vulnerable adults living there.

French and British authorities are racing to process hundreds of children in the camp amid fears that vulnerable minors could be lost in the “total chaos” of the site’s planned demolition.

Violent clashes between migrants and police broke out over the weekend ahead of the evictions. Officers retaliated with teargas and smoke grenades after bottles were thrown at them. Charity workers expressed concern that children could be caught up in violence or left vulnerable to people traffickers.
