Jungle refugee camp, Calais. Many refugees lost their homes during the demolition of the southern part of the Jungle in February/March 2016. The options for the roughly 3000 who lost their homes were to apply for asylum in France, moving to the previously built containers or trying to find housing in another camp. Many, however, choose to move to acquaintances in the northern parts of the Jungle which grew dramatically during the year. Volunteers and refugees were protesting during the demolition and the CRS (French riot control forces) responded with tear gas and water cannon. Several people chose to set their shelter on fire before the forces could destroy it. Others caught on fire because of the tear gas. It took two weeks until the southern area except from a school and the church was demolished.
