With the help of many mane people, not least the mayor of Dunkirk and MSF, conditions have improved since our visit last month.

The MSF camp has opened, and while the French government is trying to shut it down, for the time being it is still there. A lot of help is still needed, but refugees have a solid roof over their heads and no longer walk around in knee deep mud.

Small satellite camps have opened up as a result of not everyone wanting to move to the MSF camp, and help is particularly needed there.

Thank you everyone who has helped make a difference already. In 21st century Europe there is no excuse for the conditions refugees are being made to live under.

We managed to spend over €2,500 euros of money donated by you on 600 gas cylinders, over half a ton of rice, fresh fruit, 200kgs of tuna and veg. We also donated all the warm clothes (men, women and children) that were donated as well as handing out toys!! This was the last drop in the old camp, which is now closed. Everything was massively appreciated.
