Hundreds of unaccompanied minors are currently stuck in horrendous conditions in the Calais Jungle, an unofficial refugee camp on toxic wasteland in Northern France, just 40miles away from the UK.
Most of them have a legal right to be reunited with family members in England under the Dublin 3 Regulations. Yet as the UK and French Government are refusing #refugeechildren safe and legal routes to their families it drives them to traffickers, forces them to jump trains, sinking ships and suffocating lorries.
No more children should die trying to reach their families.
We are hoping that this week's important @citizensuk court case might see hundreds of children reunited with their families and hold the Home Office accountable to their humanitarian and legal obligations.
