French police are a problem, too. There's no security in the Jungle, and the Bar Human Rights Committee has chronicled cop violence against refugees in Calais. But Europe's population of 500 million should be able to absorb 1.5 million refugees, counters Andre Jincq, head of French operations for Médecins Sans Frontières, also called Doctors Without Borders. "It is not a crisis," he says. "It is a mistake of organization."Refugees choose the Jungle because Calais is close to the UK, where they often have family or friends. Many refugees speak at least some English, which means a better chance at employment if they can make the 20-mile, one-hour train ride across the channel.
The UK also has a reputation for handling asylum claims faster than France, which is why refugees try to get to there before starting the process, says Daniel Barney, a spokesman for Doctors Without Borders, Even so, it typically takes months to process claims in either country, A man makes the five-mile trek from the Jungle refugee camp to the highway, where he hopes to smuggle himself onto a truck headed for the UK, Some refugees try to buy their way onto trucks headed for Calais station, where they hope to catch a train to the UK, stark case for apple iphone 6s, 7 and 8 - black But few can pay the 8,000-euro cost per person -- sometimes discounted to 5,000 euros per person in a group -- that human smugglers charge, says Rory Fox, who runs the Dunkirk Children's Center, a 20-person volunteer school at the Grande-Synthe camp..
So refugees try grabbing passing trucks and hauling themselves onboard. It's as dangerous as it sounds. More than 30 men, women and children have died trying since 2015. And it's frustrating: Most who set out from the Jungle every evening trudge back in the morning, thwarted. Adam Sharawi, a refugee from Sudan, spent nine months traveling by car across Africa, by ship to Italy and by train to France. He wants to settle in England. "The UK has all my friends," he tells me after making the five-mile trek back to the Jungle from yet another futile effort to hop a truck.
It's also getting harder, with authorities erecting miles of high steel fencing to keep refugees off likely spots on the highway, Double rows topped with razor wire are patrolled night and day, It's a stark case for apple iphone 6s, 7 and 8 - black low-tech but formidable barrier, Over time, the Jungle wears refugees down, After seven months working to get to the UK, 16-year-old Kamil Shamal from Afghanistan decided to seek asylum in France, even though he's concerned some French didn't welcome him to the country, France received 74,200 new asylum applications last year, up from 59,000 in 2014, according to the United Nations..
There aren't any apps for smuggling refugees onto trucks, but tech has helped keep some of them safe on their journeys to Europe. Mohammad Ghannam, another spokesman for Doctors Without Borders, works with volunteers through a Facebook group to track people crossing the Mediterranean. The boat journeys are treacherous. At least 880 died in the first five months of 2016. The Grande-Synthe camp provides more-humane living conditions than the Jungle, about 25 miles away. Refugees use phone apps to determine their coordinates, then send longitude and latitude data to the group through WhatsApp every 15 minutes during their voyage. If the messages stop, a volunteer calls coast guard authorities nearest to the passengers' last known location.
