Rejected petition Grant immediate aid to the 425 unaccompanied minors in the jungle refugee camp.

Mayor of Calais, Natacha Bouchart, has issued a statement that the jungle refugee camp has been approved for complete destruction. It is known to contain 425 unaccompanied minors.

Theresa May previously moved to bring these children to Britain as refugees and should now act on this.

More details

Even if we do not want to act as a pull factor for adult migration, these children should be given immediate refugee status in the UK.
