		</div><p>More than half the children who disembarked from the Ocean Viking migrant rescue ship last week have fled from migrant reception centres, French authorities said.</p>
<p>Some 26 of the 44 unaccompanied youngsters have escaped the facilities made available to them, the council of the southern French Var region said in a statement on Friday.</p>
<p>Three left the centres the day after arriving on November 11, with the other 23 leaving on subsequent days, departmental official Jean-Louis Masson told French media.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, French interior minister Gerald Darmanin said this week 44 of the total 234 migrants face deportation “as soon as their health allows” – while more could also be deported.</p>
<p>Mr Darmanin reluctantly allowed the maritime rescue ship to dock in Toulon during a row over its fate which threatened EU efforts to share around asylum seekers.</p>
<p>The French welcome for the Ocean Viking unleashed fury from far-right rivals of the French government.</p>
<p>Migrant advocates expressed relief but lamented that it took weeks to find a harbour for the ship as Italy refused to let it dock.</p>
<p>On Friday, they vowed to send their vessels back out to the Mediterranean to save others in distress.</p>
<p>The Ocean Viking disembarked its passengers at the Toulon port – people from Eritrea, Egypt, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan and other nations, including 44 unaccompanied minors and children as young as three.</p>
