Anger is growing among aid workers in the Calais refugee camp over the welfare of the 1,500 unaccompanied children remaining on the site in a secure area of converted shipping containers. They had failed to get on the last buses laid on for unaccompanied minors for onward transport to reception centres across France. Unaccompanied children who were registered as being in the camp were moved by French authorities into a fenced-off area with converted shipping containers. Authorities bowed to international pressure and took 113 of the unaccompanied minors to reception centres in Brittany on Friday. It is feared that French authorities plan to move the unaccompanied minors already registered from the container camps this week, dispersing them around the country.
