Title
Calais - Migrants – Illegal immigrants
Caption
Migrants wait near the motorway turn-off to the port of Calais, hoping to jump onto trucks as they slow down, and get a passage over to the UK. Six years after the closure of the Sangatte refugee centre, migrants from Afghanistan, Iraqi Kurdistan, Eritrea and other countries, still flock to Normandy in an attempt to reach England in the back of trucks crossing the English Channel. Around 17 000 would live in insalubrious conditions in the subburbs of the city.
