In France, a 14-year-old Afghan War refugee died in a hit-and-run incident as he attempted to board a moving truck bound for Great Britain. Charity workers at the Calais refugee camp near the English Channel say the boy had a legal right to travel to Britain, but months of delay in processing his paperwork led him to attempt to stow away on a trip through Channel Tunnel. The boy, whose name is not being released, was at least the 13th person to die near the port this year and the third child.
