A lot is happening today... Though I should concentrate and work more! I still want to share a few links:
About Calais' tragic migrant situation, from the wonderful website OKAYAFRICA/
http://www.okayafrica.com/news/calais-france-migrants-the-new-jungle-phil-le-gal-photos/
Just over 20 miles from Dover, the northern port city of Calais is the closest French town to
England. The site is home to another chapter of what the New York Times referred to this
week as a painful drama playing out across Europe. According to the World Policy Institute, between 3,000 to 5,000 migrants, largely from East Africa and the Middle East, live
in the city’s resource-scarce camps, often lacking proper shelter and medical services. Many
of these migrants seek to flee for Britain each night by stowing away on UK-bound trucks and ferries.

The crisis in Calais escalated this week, when thousands of migrants entered the high-traffic
Channel Tunnel on July 27 and 28, reports WPI. One Sudanese migrant was killed in an
accident, making him the ninth person to die in an attempted tunnel crossing since June.
