Over 1500 people live in a camp outside of Calais, France; this camp is known as the "Jungle." According to BBC World News, this haven for refugees will be closed and destroyed by the end of the week. While some residents argue that this has become their home and they should be allowed to stay, French officials are displeased not only with the camp's general unsanitary conditions but also with the use of the area by people-smugglers. The refugees are encouraged to seek political asylum in France and the United Kingdom.
