At least 10 injured as huge fire engulfs Dunkirk refugee camp leaving ‘nothing but a heap of ashes’ after a row between migrants

‘A huge fire tore through at least half of the Grande-Synthe migrant camp outside the northern French city of Dunkirk injuring at least ten.
Witnesses said the fire broke out following a row between Kurdish and Afghan migrants which left six with knife wounds.
The camp was shelter to some 1,500 people by the end of March living in closely-packed wooden huts, hundreds of whom may now be homeless.
Local officials said the blaze had affected around 20 of the huts, each of which typically accommodates four people.
A massive plume of smoke rose from the camp into the night sky and was visible from several kilometres away. ‘There is nothing left but a heap of ashes,’ Michel Lalande, prefect of France’s Nord region, told reporters at the scene as firefighters continued to battle the flames.’
