NEWS - Calais: Verlassenes 'Jungle Camp'
Empty, barren and bleak: this wasteland is all that remains of the Jungle migrant camp in Calais. Bulldozers have flattened the vast shanty town, which was home to thousands of people hoping to reach the UK before a mass evacuation began three weeks ago today. Once a bustling sprawl of makeshift shops, huts, tents, community centres, places of worship and a theatre, the land is now eerily empty. A road surrounding it, once the scene of daily clashes between police firing tear gas and rock-throwing migrants, is now guarded by a single police van. The main track through the camp is a mudflat strewn with saucepans, food tins, beer cans, plastic bottles, clothes and shoes. It used to be lined with restaurants and shops, and groups of migrants gathered around camp fires.
