Slum settlement of migrants from Asia and Africa was formed on the outskirts of Calais in the early 2000s. The city is located on the banks of the English Channel and from here it is easiest to get to the UK, where illegal migrants are striving. In recent years, in connection with the migration crisis in Europe, the influx of refugees in Calais has increased. Local residents expressed dissatisfaction, and the authorities decided to liquidate the settlement, considered one of the largest in the country. However, a few months ago the influx of migrants in Calais resumed. Now, according to charitable organizations, there are about 400-600 illegal immigrants in the city.
