<p>This week we report from the northern city of Calais, where thousands of migrants and refugees have been forced to set up camp in the past year as they flee war and poverty in their homelands. In most cases, Calais is not the final destination, but a stopover before they set out to cross the English Channel and make their way to Britain where the chances of finding work are higher. We visit “The Jungle”, one of the main camps and which currently houses an estimated 4,000 people. </p><br /><br />Visit our website:<br />http://www.france24.com<br /><br />Like us on Facebook:<br />https://www.facebook.com/FRANCE24.English<br /><br />Follow us on Twitter:<br />https://twitter.com/France24_en
