The police is arresting one owner from each place of business and confiscating anything and everything that is part of their business: pots and pans, gas stoves, food supplies, scissors and shavers...

This doesn't mean this should be cause for panic among any of us, novices or experienced people..
1).this s not the first time nor the last time the police will do such things
2) Refugees are being resigned and not fighting, which is good, because there is nothing that can be done but live through this... Refugees are more used to such situations than volunteers are...none of the shop owners ever expeected to be able to keep a shop for years in the jungle.
3) Things are not, in fact, changing, so do not change your plans. Come if you planned to come, there will still be work to do and donations are still needed! As we said in one of our last posts, the jungle will not be dismantled until September, likely the end of September.

This action from the governement today is more to iintimidate and discourage both refugees and volunteers than anything else. So stay strong, and calm...
Thank you!
