Rescue the 1000 unaccompanied children in Calais, especially Dubs' children.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

There are almost 1000 unaccompanied minor children living in the camp. These children are extremely vulnerable. Most at risk are children who meet the criteria for the Dubs amendment.
With the destruction of the camp imminent it is imperative that the UK rescues these children immediately.
‘The Jungle’ in Calais is scheduled for destruction by the 31st of October. There are currently almost 1000 unaccompanied minor children living in the camp. These children are extremely vulnerable and need the UK to ensure their safe delivery to our shores. Those most at risk are the children who meet the criteria for the Dubs amendment.
It is imperative that the UK identifies and rescues these children as soon as possible to avoid them being at further risk.
