Over 1000 migrants attempted to storm the Channel Tunnel in a desperate bid to reach Britain today.<\/p>\n
French police deployed tear gas at the vast crows just days before their illegal migrant camp is due to be destroyed.<\/p>\n
One of the migrants reported to local media:\u00a0“We are absolutely desperate, and need to get to England as quickly as possible.”<\/p>\n
The migrants set off from the camp at around 9pm on Wednesday, by midnight most of them were close to the undersea link.<\/p>\n
A police spokesperson said:\u00a0‘Riot control measures were used to keep them back,’<\/p>\n
‘There were no recorded incursions into the tunnel. Members of the group were dispersed from the area in the early hours of the morning.’<\/p>\n
‘Everything went calmly. We escorted the immigrants to stop the kind of trouble that we have seen in the town before.’<\/p>\n
There are currently over 5,000 migrants living in the migrant camp.<\/p>\n
The French Interior Minister said that the migrant camp eviction would be done by persuasion, respect and progressively.<\/p>\n
