Ten years have passed since the demolition of the 'Jungle' in Calais, a sprawling informal settlement that once housed thousands of asylum seekers hoping to cross the English Channel. While the original site was cleared, the underlying situation for migrants in the area remains largely unchanged. Currently, small groups of individuals continue to live in makeshift camps, often hidden in woodland clearings near major roadways.

Reports from the region indicate that life for these individuals is characterized by extreme vulnerability. As temperatures drop during the autumn months, those living in tents face harsh weather conditions and limited access to basic infrastructure. The ongoing presence of these camps highlights the persistent nature of the migration crisis in Northern France, where individuals remain in a state of limbo while seeking passage to the United Kingdom. While the specific location and scale of the camps have shifted since the destruction of the 'Jungle', the fundamental challenges regarding shelter, safety, and humanitarian support remain a central feature of the Calais landscape.
