CALAIS, France, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- French President Francois Hollande called for authorities to shut down a refugee camp in the town of Calais and transfer refugees to other reception centers in the country.
During a visit to one of France's 164 reception centers, Hollande urged that closing the "jungle" camp, which is viewed as a gateway to the United Kingdom, and relocating the refugees should be a priority.
