Corbyn visits Calais migrant camp
British opposition party Leader has visited a migrant camp in northern France criticizing the "dreadful conditions" there.
The Labor leader said conditions in the Grande-Synthe camp near Dunkirk would be a "disgrace anywhere" adding Britain should be "part of bringing European support to people."
Corbyn stressed that the long-term solution to the problem was to deal with the conflicts causing the migration crisis.
"What I'm trying to achieve here is to understand the nature of the refugee crisis that's facing the whole of Europe. Ultimately we deal with the situation by dealing with the problem at its source, which are the wars and conflicts. Also, there are the human needs of people. We have got people here who have been here for months, if not longer than that, with no proper education, no access to doctors, no access to dentists, limited access to food - in very cold, very wet conditions,” he said.
According to Medecins Sans Frontieres, the population of the camp has risen steadily in recent weeks to about 2,500, including about 250 children.
Last year, London announced that it would accept 20,000 refugees from Syria over five years.
