Calais (France) (AFP) – French police on Monday fired tear gas as they broke down several makeshift camps around the port city of Calais, leaving nearly 400 people, mostly Syrian refugees, without shelter.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

A local government source told AFP that aside from the sprawling “New Jungle” where some 3,000 people have set up camp — most seeking desperately to get to England — “any illegal settlement cannot remain and will result in evacuation.”<\/p>\n

With nowhere to go, about 50 of those evacuated staged a sit-in at the port, accompanied by members of the “No Border” movement, refusing to go to the “New Jungle.”<\/p>\n

The slum-like migrant camp sprung up after the closure of notorious Red Cross camp Sangatte in 2002, which had become overcrowded and prone to violent riots.<\/p>\n

That camp also strained cross-Channel relations as London saw it as luring migrants to Calais from where they tried to make their way to England.<\/p>\n

However migrants and refugees have kept coming and the “New Jungle” has swelled along with the numbers of those making often deadly attempts to smuggle themselves across the Channel.<\/p>\n

“The Syrians refuse to go there because of the insecurity there,” said an official from Medecins du Monde (Doctors of the World).<\/p>\n

Police fired tear gas and took three “No Border” militants into custody while driving the group out of their makeshift camp.<\/p>\n

Two other camps where Syrians and African migrants have been living for several months, were also dismantled.<\/p>\n

Another, home to mostly Eritreans, was bulldozed.<\/p>\n

Under the driving rain, groups of people, including women and children, wandered around Calais looking for a new place to set up home.<\/p>\n

The migrants and refugees in Calais initially tried to smuggle themselves onto trucks crossing on ferries to make their way to Britain, a promised land for them, but changed tactics as security was stepped up.<\/p>\n

In July hundreds tried to storm the Eurotunnel site nightly to enter the undersea tunnel — several of whom paid with their lives — but figures have fallen amid tighter security.<\/p>\n

Calais is only a footnote in the migration crisis sweeping Europe as a flow of refugees from conflict-torn Middle Eastern nations risk their lives on a deadly journey to reach the European Union.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
