A 22-year-old French gunman shot dead two migrants and two security guards at the camp in Loon-Plage, near Dunkirk, with another victim targeted in a nearby town. Refugees have been camping in the area for years, predominantly “Kurdish or Afghan and including many families with small children”, according to the charity Care4Calais, Loon-Plage is home to refugee camps and is near to Calais and the Strait of Dover, the closest point between England and France where thousands of migrants cross the Channel from mainland Europe each year.
