Calais 'Jungle' cleared of migrants, French prefect says

Fire breaks out in the Jungle camp as migrants prepare to leave while the authorities start to demolish the site on 26 October 2016 in Calais, France

France says that it has completed an operation to move thousands of migrants out of the "Jungle" camp in Calais.
Fabienne Buccio, the prefect of Pas-de-Calais, said it was "mission accomplished" for the operation, which began on Monday.
But charities said many unaccompanied minors had not been processed and BBC reporters at the camp said groups of adults remained.
Fires burned at the camp overnight and during the day amid the clearance work.


The camp has become a key symbol of Europe's migration crisis, with its residents desperate to reach the UK.
