Women and children at a migrant camp outside the French port city of Calais are to be given heated tents by the end of the week, officials say, BBC reports.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said the measures were to protect some of the 6,000 people at the camp from cold temperatures as winter approaches.
Another 460 police officers are to be deployed there from Thursday, he added.
Numbers at the "New Jungle" camp have swelled in recent months, as the Europe migrant crisis has intensified.
