Calais Jungle - France

The Calais Jungle was a refugee and migrant encampment in the vicinity of Calais, France. Many who lived in this camp attempted to illegally enter the United Kingdom via the Port of Calais or the Eurotunnel .
Conditions in the camps are poor, typically without proper sanitary or washing facilities and accommodation consisting of tents and improvised shelters. Food was supplied by charity kitchens.
On 24 October 2016, France begins dismantling Calais Jungle refugee camp.
Mostly young men from Africa or Afghanistan, Eritrea, Sudan and other conflict-torn countries trucked down the camp’s trash-filled, muddy lanes in small groups, pushing or dragging donated suitcases, or toting knapsacks front and back.
After two days of peaceful dismantling, incidents struck in the “Jungle” of Calairs during Wednesday October 26. At least 100 huts were set on fire by inhabitants and gas cylinders having exploded.
