Up to 1,000 unaccompanied minors will be left to fend for themselves when the so-called jungle camp for refugees in Calais is bulldozed next month. The Home Office did not respond to queries over whether it intended to help lone child refugees once the Calais camp was destroyed. On Monday President François Hollande is expected to visit Calais and confirm that the refugee camp will be demolished. However, because of a supposed lack of emergency capacity for unaccompanied minors, at least 850 children will be made homeless. One charity, Care4Calais, said that after an area of the site was cleared, 129 unaccompanied minors had vanished.
