The prefect of Pas-de-Calais, Fabienne Buccio, declared, “Our mission is accomplished.”Nevertheless, it was obvious even then that her statement was premature. Aid groups had warned that authorities were systematically undercounting unaccompanied children in the weeks leading up to the camp’s closure, raising the risk that they would be unprepared for the numbers that would need alternative accommodation. At least 100 unaccompanied children and hundreds of adults were st...Archbishop Emeritus Keith Patrick Cardinal O’Brien (1938-2018) RIP
