A migrant staying in a sprawling camp in Calais has told ITV News that she is desperate to reach the UK so that her eight-year-old son can go to school.

Nabiat, an Eritrean migrant, said she has tried to hide in UK-bound lorries with her son every day for a year.

She told ITV News' Emma Murphy: "My child wants to go to school. I don't have house, I don't have money, I don't have food, I don't have anything.

"Three or four friends with children [went to] England and all the children started school. You have home, you have salary, you have everything. Also the dress, also the shoes, because my child has nothing."
