France: Authorities Force Remaining Refugees from Calais Camp
-------------------------------------------------------------

In France, authorities have forced the remaining 1,600 refugees out of
the Calais refugee camp, known as "The Jungle." Authorities have been in
the process of demolishing the camp for more than a week and busing the
camp's approximately 7,000 residents to refugee intake centers across
France. The final refugees removed Wednesday were predominantly children
and teenagers, mostly from Afghanistan and South Sudan. They had been
refusing to leave the refugee camp, hoping to win asylum in Britain,
where many say they have family members.
