Refugees in Calais

An estimated 800 refugees are left to rot in Calais,France. They are
rejected by Britain, abandoned by France and adrift inside fortress Europe.
　
They fled war and terror ore poor economic conditions only to find their dreams of a new life end in misery. One in five refugees are unaccompanied minors.




Most of the refugees live in inhuman conditions in a slum constructed in the woods, commonly known as "The Jungle". There is no water, no electricity and no sanitation.
　
Because of this inhuman conditions many refugees are infected with the highly contagious
skin disease scabies also the refugees have to cope everyday with police harassment and fear of deportation.
The refugees are carrying out daily dangerous attempts to sneak across the channel to Britain by jumping on passing trucks.

STRANGE. they all have money for hair cuts. i'm very sorry for them but its not Englands responsibility. they don't have to be there. entering another country illegally poses a major security risk. asylum seekers should stay in their own countries and fight, sure they might die but if all the moderates run then how is that going to do any good for their country?
