More than 5,000 migrants have crossed to the UK in small boats so far this year and even more children are among the fresh arrivals.
The tide of young kids being brought across the dangerous cross has not stopped despite Home Secretary Priti Patel’s efforts to make the route across the Channel “unviable”.
Pregnant women and tiny babies have also been seen arriving on British shores over the last month.
Local authorities trying to care for the children have been overwhelmed by the number of new arrivals.
Kent County Council has had to issue a plea for help to other councils to find places for the children.
The council said it does not have the capacity for additional unaccompanied asylum-seeking children.
More than 400 children have been placed under the council’s care so fart his year – most of whom came to the UK in tiny boats across the Channel.
Norfolk County Council stepped into to help and pledged to take as many as 50 children into their care.
Last month, a 28-year-old man died after making a desperate bid to reach the UK in a dingy – with only spades as oars.
Ms Patel has been forced to dig her heels in over the fight to make it harder for migrants to travel to the UK.
A flight full of illegal Channel migrants, destined for Spain, had to be abandoned last week after being bogged down in legal action.
The 23 migrants were set to be deported but were removed from the flight on legal technicalities.
Ms Patel is understood to be “furious” at the latest attempt to stop Britain clamping down on dangerous migrant crossings in the English Channel.
But the Army has been brought in to patrol the Channel and keep an eye out for migrant boats with a £27million Watchkeeper drone, which belongs to the Royal Artillery.
