Young migrants back to Calais

paris - Between 300 and 400 migrants, mostly children who wander without parents, have returned to the French port of Calais in the hope of crossing to Britain. So say several aid agencies. In late October the French authorities cleared the 'jungle' in Calais yet. When 6000 migrants were transferred to camps elsewhere.

The migrants come from the Middle East, Asia and Africa and draw for years to Calais with the hope to make the crossing through the Channel Tunnel. 'We think there are about 300 to 400 migrants in the region at this time. Most are teenagers or children, 'said Lucie Favry of charity Utopia 56. The exact number is unknown because many immigrants are hiding from the police.

Salam, another organization, shares daily over a hundred meals from migrants. 'We have not counted them, but we see new faces every time, so we are sure about hundreds of people and I think that more and more migrants recover. '

The regional authorities do not confirm the figures.
