25 October 2016. Press release
The International Federation of Iraqi Refugees (IFIR) is both saddened and distressed to hear about the news concerning the closure and demolition of the refugee camp in Calais. The closure will put thousands of refugees, including vulnerable adults and children, at great risk.
The IFIR demands that those at risk, particularly the estimated 1,300 unaccompanied children, are placed in safe and secure shelters in advance of the demolition. We are completely against the closure and demolition of the camp.
