French authorities have finally begun the demolition of the notorious Jungle camp in Calais,with riot police entering the camp early on Monday morning, to assist in the clearing up. French authorities are set to bulldoze a 330ft 'buffer zone' between the camp and the adjacent motorway, which leads to the ferry port.
The 1,500 of the camp's 6,000 residents who have been living in the area set to be destroyed are in the process of being moved into new purpose-built housing. However, as the new £20million container camp could only process some 50 people per day, both refugees and volunteers have been worried that hundreds of Jungle residents would be left without shelter.
