**** Children in Calais and Dunkirk refugee camps forced into rape, prostitution
****

A report by Unicef has found that sexual exploitation of children
living in refugee camps in northern France is common on a daily basis.
Many young boys are raped, and many young girls are raped and forced
into prostitution.

The study was based on interview with 60 unaccompanied children aged
from 11 to 17 between January and April. There are 500 unaccompanied
children in camps in Calais and Dunkirk at the end of March.

Many of them have family members in the UK who are waiting for them to
arrive. However, processing of children has been very slow, and only
30 of the 500 unaccompanied children have so far been brought to the
UK.

In order to reach France, human traffickers have already charged them
$3,000 to $12,000. They are forced to pay an "entry fee" before
they're allowed to live in the camps. Once in the camp, traffickers
are charging another $6,000 to cross the channel into Britain,
a higher price than ever before.

The Unicef report quotes one 16 year old girl as saying "I know that
if I pay or offer sex, I will cross more quickly. I have been asked
to do this. It’s hard to say no." A boy says that he's "gassed and
beaten here" in France.

For these unaccompanied children, there's little protection from the
cold and no access to schooling, and they are subjected to sexual
exploitation, violence and forced labor on a daily basis. There's
also evidence that they're being forced to commit crimes.

Unicef is demanding that, at the very least, unaccompanied children
with families in the UK should be processed more quickly and allowed
to travel to their families.

This is an explosive situation. On the one hand, you a massive
humanitarian disaster involving children on a daily basis, in one
modern, developed country, France, wishing to travel to another
modern, developed country, Britain, to see their families. On the
other hand, you have European populations in Europe that are
increasingly resistant to allowing refugees into their countries under
any circumstances whatsoever. This situation will not change if the
"Brexit" referendum passes, and Britain leaves Europe, and almost
certainly will worsen, because France will no longer be under any
obligation to prevent refugees in Calais from crossing the Channel to
Britain.

Those who don't like these conclusions shouldn't blame me. Think of
me as the weatherman. I'm not saying whether the category 5 hurricane
is good or bad, but I'm only telling you that it's coming. There is
no happy ending to this crisis. Unicef and Christian Today and Belfast Telegraph

**** Médecins Sans Frontières announces it will reject further European aid
****


In a move that my mother would probably have called "cutting off your
nose to spite your face," the international aid organization Médecins
Sans Frontières (MSF - Doctors without Borders) announced on Friday
that they will no longer accept money from the European Union because
of its "shameful" response to the refugee crisis, especially as the
EU-Turkey refugee deal is being implemented.

According to International Secretary General Jerome Oberreit:

[indent]<QUOTE>"For months MSF has spoken out about a shameful
European response focused on deterrence rather than providing
people with the assistance and protection they need. The
EU-Turkey deal goes one step further and has placed the very
concept of “refugee” and the protection it offers in danger. ...

Is Europe’s only offer to refugees that they stay in countries
they are desperate to flee? Once again, Europe’s main focus is not
on how well people will be protected, but on how efficiently they
are kept away. ...

Europe’s attempt to outsource migration control is having a domino
effect, with closed borders stretching all the way back to
Syria. People increasingly have nowhere to turn. Will the
situation in Azaz where 100,000 people are blocked between closed
borders and front lines become the rule, rather than the deadly
exception?"<END QUOTE>
[/indent]

The last sentence refers to Azaz, a city in Syria with 300,000 people,
of which 200,000 are already displaced. The forces of the so-called
Islamic State (IS or ISIS or ISIL or Daesh) are now within 5 km of
Azaz, and have threatened a huge massacre if they take control of the
city.

It's not clear what MSF is advocating for Azaz. The city is close to
the border of Turkey, and perhaps the point of Oberreit's statement is
that he wants those 300,000 people to be permitted to flee to Turkey,
and perhaps from there to Europe.

This is a total fantasy on MSF's part. As I read the situation, ISIS
is going to torture, massacre and slaughter tens or hundreds of
thousands of people in Azaz, and nobody is going to stop them. Those
people are already as good as dead.

Oberreit is turning down something like $50 million in aid from the EU
that it could use to help people as part of its mission. By turning
this money down, Oberreit apparently hopes to shame Turkey and the EU
into permitting those 300,000 refugees to flee reach the EU. Instead,
they're just going to lose $50 million in aid for no reason at all.
