When a child's home is the Calais migrant 'Jungle'

As France prepares to dismantle part of the migrant camp known as the Jungle in the northern town of Calais, concerns have been raised over the plight of hundreds of unaccompanied children.

Volunteers and grassroots organisations say these children, most of whom are suffering from mental health issues, will face greater risks if the clearing goes ahead.

The BBC's Thomas Fessy has met some of these young people in the Jungle camp. Their names have been changed for their own safety.
