WATCH LIVE: (Scroll Down For Video) French authorities started to demolish the makeshift migrant camp near Calais known as the Jungle on Monday.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year French president Francois Hollande announced plans to close the camp by the end of 2016 and relocate the officially estimated 6,500 migrants.<\/p>\n

The Jungle closure plan will see migrants being held at one of more than 160 Welcome and Orientation Centres (CAOs) in regions across France.<\/p>\n

They will have to claim asylum in France within a set period of time or face deportation.<\/p>\n

The slum’s southern section was dismantled earlier this year but more migrants arrived.<\/p>\n

France has called on the UK to allow 500 unaccompanied minors.<\/p>\n

An emergency legal bid by several aid groups to delay the camp’s closure was rejected by a court in Lille earlier this month.<\/p>\n
