Police operation creates tension in Paris after clear-out of 'Jungle' refugee camp

French authorities finished clearing out the makeshift shelters in the squalid Calais migrant camp known as the "Jungle" on Monday, after moving more than 6,000 people to temporary housing in a long-awaited effort to tackle France's migrant crisis.

The administration for the Pas-de-Calais region said in a statement that the weeklong clear-out operation finished on Monday, but cleaning crews were scheduled to continue combing the site in the coming days.

It said three rickety places of worship built by the camp's residents will remain standing for now, so that underage migrants staying in nearby container housing can continue to gather for prayer.
