8-yr-old migrant boy stuck at Paris airport

An 8-yearold boy from the Indian Ocean island nation of Comoros has been in a transit zone in Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport for 10 days after trying to enter France illegally.

While France has seen cases of stranded unaccompanied minors in the past, the boy’s plight has upset aid groups, who are frustrated at the government’s handling of unaccompanied underage migrants.

The young boy’s plight is “an exceptional situation that to my mind has lasted too long,” said Pierre Henry, head of France-Terre d’ Asile, a leading association helping migrants.
