    Migrants flock back to Calais: Charity warns 800 refugees remain in French port city a year after the Jungle camp was razed to the ground

    An Afghan migrant speaking in Calais reports clothes are being taken by police

    Officers are taking tents and sleeping bags from rough sleepers, it is claimed

    Help Refugees believes there could be up to 2,000 refugees in northern France

    Hundreds of migrants are believed to be in Calais and the surrounding area a year after the Jungle camp was razed, a charity has said.

    It is thought between 700 and 800 refugees and other migrants are gathered in France’s northern port city, which continues to attract those hoping to enter the UK.

    The number could be as high as 2,000 for all of northern France, said Annie Gavrilescu, who works for charity Help Refugees.

    The charity was not allowed to give migrants any tents for fears they would set up a new camp in the area, she added.

    ‘While the French authorities are trying to prevent a camp, all we want to do is provide people with some form of shelter and protection,’ Miss Gavrilescu said. ‘Unfortunately last winter, a few people in Greece and Serbia have died just of the cold ... it could happen in northern France as well.’

    Speaking in Calais, Fawad, a migrant from Afghanistan, said: ‘We sleep in jungles and there is a lot of problem from police. They take everything, tents, sleeping bags, clothes.’

    He added that he and others were always on the run from police, fearing being beaten if caught.

    Fawad, who only gave his first name, added: ‘We are afraid for winter ... we don’t have a place to sleep and something to wear.’

    France has rejected pleas from charities to open a new day centre for refugees in Calais this month. It was reported at the time of the application that there were around 400 to 600 migrants in the area.

    During an emergency visit to the port, government minister Gerard Collomb said the only solution to the growing build-up of asylum seekers was better security.

    The city has lived with migrants in its midst for years, but the Jungle camp on its boundaries sprang up around a previous day centre opened in April 2015. The population of refugees and other migrants rapidly grew into the thousands.

    Authorities cleared the shanty town on October 24 last year in a drive to relocate people or send them to centres around the country where they could apply for asylum.

    Though hundreds have returned to the area, many migrants have travelled further west to Ouistreham, near the city of Caen.

    Earlier this month, the Mail reported that a group of about 100 young men from Sudan and Eritrea live in a makeshift camp in woodland a mile-and-a-half from the port.

    Their arrival has prompted fears that migrants have opened up a new route into Britain.

    Travellers have warned each other to be vigilant when passing through Ouistreham, with one reporting that migrants were ‘hiding in ditches’ and ‘studying on-coming traffic’.

    They trash their own countries and come here and rape and trash ours while committing crimes and theft.

    Start loading up barges and send them ALL back.

    They have land, they have resources...go fix your own corrupt countries.

    Go rebuild your own communities and get on birth control!

    No more money, no aid, no oatmeal...it solves NOTHING!
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL
