The Calais jungle was a refugee encampment on the outskirts of Calais, France from January 2015 to its demolition in late 2016. The population of the camps grew rapidly during the height of the European migrant crisis in 2015, exceeding 6000 refugees (mostly from Iraq, Afghanistan and the horn of Africa and Sudan) and causing a humanitarian crisis with poor conditions inside the camps. I documented and travelled with a small envoy from London to Calais, with a van full of donated clothes and food which were then processed in centres run by NGOs. Some 6,400 migrants were evacuated from the encampment in 170 buses in October 2016, with the intent of resettling them in different regions of France.
