Ten Years After Calais Jungle Demolition: Migrants Still More Vulnerable

In October 2025, the French government ordered the dismantling of the 'jungle' of Calais, a makeshift camp located in northern France, facing the English Channel and the United Kingdom, and the final destination for thousands of migrants coming from Africa and the Middle East. A decade later, the migrant population has not disappeared, but their living conditions have significantly deteriorated, particularly for women and children, as explained by Marie-Charlotte Fabié, director of Safe Passage International France, who works on family reunification, and Maïwenn Henriquet, health representative at Médecins du Monde, whose work is featured in the documentary 'À la frontière des regards' by Charles-Henry Frizon.
