Demolition teams protected by the French police have resumed clearing part of the makeshift “Jungle” refugee camp in Calais, with migrants and refugees braced for another chaotic day and upheaval. French authorities have instructed camp residents to move to shipping containers on another part of the site, while also offering refugees places in 100 reception areas around France.
Local authorities say 3,700 people live in the camp, and that between 800 and 1,000 will be affected by the eviction. But charities say a recent census they conducted counted at least 3,450 people in the southern part alone, including 300 unaccompanied children.
We’d like to know if you and your family are affected by the recent Calais camp demolitions. Where did you travel from? How long have you been staying at the camp? Are you still hoping to travel to Britain, or will you now try to claim asylum in France?
