Dunkirk's forgotten migrant camp

I don't get shocked easily and I was speechless

Dr Ranj on the conditions of a Dunkirk migrant camp

Dunkirk, the site in Northern France where during WWII hundreds of thousands of soldiers were evacuated back to Britain, is now the home to hundreds of families who have fled war and oppression in the Middle East.

Knee-deep in mud, rubbish and rats, children wade through a flooded migrant camp which has just 26 toilets for 3,000 people and is heading for a 'sanitation crisis'. With the population exploding from 600 people in October 2015 to more than 3,000 last week, the Grande-Synthe camp is now being described in the press as 'far worse than the Calais Jungle'.

We sent Mark Williams-Thomas and Dr Ranj to visit the camp yesterday, and they join us on the sofa to discuss what they saw.

They are living in appalling conditions, they are eating and drinking right next to human waste. They are at risk of a whole host of conditions.
