Jungle is the nickname given to a refugee camp in the vicinity of Calais, France. In September 2016 the Jungle had expanded try tripling its size of population during the last year. 9000 men, women and unaccompanied children were living in mud, tents or temporary shelters they’d build themselves and decorate as best as possible. They all have the same goal: to enter the UK. The infrastructure of the Jungle has developed rapidly. There are churches and mosques built of sticks, tarpaulins and plastic, papered with blankets. Blankets from home, blankets that are warming, blankets with Big Ben. Syrians, Afghans, Sudanese, Kuwaitis, Kurds, Pakistanis and many more live side by side among the seventy restaurants, shops and hairdressers that stretches along the main street through the camp. This story shows the walls on the inside of the fences.
