“There are seven hundred children in the Jungle camp in Calais. 78% are alone. This is a basic humanitarian issue. Vulnerable children are lonely, hungry and could become victims of trafficking if they are abandoned. The eviction of children from the Jungle Kids’ Café could be catastrophic for these children. The French and UK governments have a duty to enforce the United Nations Convention On the Rights of the Child. No human being is illegal, least of all children.”
