Local activists decried the living conditions of hundreds of migrants after French police dismantled a camp in Grande-Synthe, near Dunkirk, as seen on Friday.

"For them, it's very sad at the moment because the only place you can relax is when you are in your tent, you can speak with your family, but at the moment they don't know where to go," said Dorothy, a volunteer who helps displaced people in the area.

On Tuesday, police removed a large illegal camp in Northern France, where nearly one thousand migrants were stranded hoping to break through the UK border. Migrants are hiding in the woods, while a new camp is reportedly being set up with their remaining belongings.
