"The Jungle" Refugee Camp _ Calais France 111 images Created 7 Apr 2016
The situation in Calais was part of a wider migration crisis in Europe - caused largely by the displacement of people from war-torn countries such as Syria, Sudan, Afghanistan and Eritrea
The Calais Jungle was a refugee camp on a landfill site just outside the town. It grew rapidly in 2015 during the peak of the European migrant crisis.
Over a 6 month period in 2016, I documented the camp which had become home to around 8,000 people. They had built makeshift shops, restaurants schools and churches. In October 2016 the camp was demolished leaving the refugees with no where to live and little support.
This is a small selection from the 6 month period I spent documenting the camp .For more enter keywords into search or contact me direct
