Jungle Burning

After weeks of protests against the governments planned forced closure of Calais’ ‘Jungle’ Refugee Camp, fires begin to break out. What had been a dynamic multicultural community of people in need was now being reduced to ashes. The authorities claimed that ‘migrants’ had started the fires while refugees said the authorities had started the fire as the quickest method of raising it to the ground. Diggers were moved in and those that had made it their temporary home were being bused out to one of more than 150 locations around France.
