Calais Jungle closed
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Jungle of Calais: is a refugee and migrant camp that existed from January 2015 to October 2016 near Calais, France. This particular shanty town attracted global media attention at the height of Europe's migrant crisis in 2015, when its population grew rapidly. Migrants live in the camps while trying to enter the UK or waiting for their asylum claims to be processed in France.
After the closure of the Calais camp, some migrants moved to a camp in Grande-Santé, but many fled to informal settlements in rural areas of northern France.
In la liniere camp there is a "steady stream" of refugees from Calais, Paris and elsewhere. In later years the population was mostly Kurdish, and inter-ethnic tensions eventually contributed to the burning of la liniere camp.
