27.10.2016
The clearance of the Calais "Jungle" refugee camp continued into its fourth day on Thursday. Construction workers resumed operations in the early hours, while fire fighters were also deployed to the scene, after several blazes erupted during the night.
A large number of police officers were also deployed to the camp, and cordoned off the demolition area.
Overnight, fire fighters tackled several blazes as the eviction of refugees from the site continued.
A major operation is due to clear the area after French President Francois Hollande gave a dismantling order for the refugee camp, where around 10,000 refugees and migrants were living. The erstwhile inhabitants will be relocated to some 300 different sites around the country.
