    The Calais Jungle

    The Calais Jungle
    Credits:
  • The Calais 'Jungle' refers to a refugee and migrant campsite in Calais, France.

    This camp is renowned for its settlers making repeated attempts to enter the United Kingdom illegally.

    The settlers do this either via the Port of Calais or via the Euro-tunnel by stowing themselves on lorries, ferries, cars or trains known to be traveling into the UK.

  • Population

    Migrants in the 'Jungle'

    Migrants in the 'Jungle'
  • A July 2016 census by 'Help Refugees' placed the population of the 'Jungle' at 7,307 migrants out of which 761 are minors.

    62% of the migrant population in Calais are non-European young men with an average age of 33.

    Kurdish Iraqis account for the biggest nationality; in 2014, there was an increase in migrants from the Horn of Africa and Sudan.

  • Do you know?

    The 'Jungle'

  • According to the NGO, Calais Migrant Solidarity, the Pashto speaking migrants and refugees referred to the Calais as "dzhangal" in their language. "Dzhangal" translates to "Jungle" and hence this camp is known as the 'Jungle.'

    More than 2,300 settlers volunteered to leave the campsite for resettlement in other French regions.

    According to the Calais police commissioner, the camp can be expected to be fully cleared by Friday.

    An old hangar in Calais was converted into a processing centre for approximately 6,000 to 10,000 migrants.

    The migrants were offered with two choices- seek asylum in France, or return to their country of origin.

    There are still 5,000 to 6,000 people staying in the camp.
