AI Summary

Ten years after the 2016 “Great Jungle” housed thousands of migrants on the outskirts of Calais and was cleared in seven days, the area now contains dozens of smaller camps spread along a broader stretch of the coastline. These newer “jungles” are routinely dismantled, with authorities taking down each site on average every 48 hours. The ongoing pattern shows migrants continue to risk crossing the Channel despite repeated clearances.
