The eviction of at least 1,000 migrants from the 'Jungle' refugee camp in Calais could start within hours, after a legal ruling.
A charity has said the demolition of the southern half of the notorious site could start as early as Thursday after the go-ahead was given by a French judge.
Save The Children told Sky News it hoped the clearance did not start immediately, arguing there was not enough alternative accommodation for those who would be displaced.
The area cannot be razed entirely because the court ruled common social areas such as schools, churches and mosques must be kept.
But Caroline Anning of Save The Children said: "What's the point of community infrastructure without a community?"
