Basroch refugee camp
Before the Linière camp
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
In 2006, a refugee camp was established in the town of Grande-Santé, on the outskirts of Dunkirk in northern France. Located in Basrock, the camp is a piece of land dedicated to the construction of an eco-community for 500 people. As the camp's inhabitants would have moved out illegally and travelled to the UK, there were never more than a few dozen people living in the camp at any one time.
However, late last summer, the migration crisis escalated further and the number of migrants in the camp increased dramatically, from 100 in August to 700 in October, 1,000 in November and over 2,500 (including 200 children) in December.
The majority of refugees in Basloch are Iraqi Kurds (90 per cent), with the remainder being Syrians, Kuwaitis, Afghans, Iranians and a few Vietnamese. None are from sub-Saharan Africa.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) carried out an exploratory mission in Basroch in September 2015 and began providing mobile clinics and making logistical and hygiene improvements. The organisation then continued to build a new camp called Linière and moved out of Basrock from 7 to 9 March.
