Children in Calais....risk their lives
more than 2,000 a week  


Child refugees in Calais are risking their lives more than 2,000 times a week in a desperate attempt to reach Britain to be united with their family.

Four months since the government agreed to take in unaccompanied child refugees — as well as relatives of UK residents — just 50 of the nearly 400 eligible cases in Calais have arrived in Britain.
But a survey of the French city’s Jungle camp by leading British charities has found many of the children are taking matters into their own hands.
