Hundreds of migrants packed their bags with a mixture of relief and despair on Monday as they left the notorious "Jungle" camp in the northern French city of Calais under grey skies. A 25-year-old Sudanese man, Abbas, was upbeat about leaving the insalubrious camp that has served as a launchpad for attempts to reach Britain. "My hope was to be able to reach the UK, where I believe we as refugees would be better treated. We want to go to Britain," said Karhazi, a young Afghan who was among many of the migrants with contacts in Britain. Britain has taken in nearly 200 child refugees from the Jungle in the past week and is expected to take dozens more.
