TOPSHOT - A combination made on November 1, 2016 shows two aerial views of the "jungle" camp in Calais, northern France, one (up) taken on August 16, 2016 when, according to different NGOs, over 9000 migrants were living there, and the second one (bottom) taken on November 1, 2016 after its demolition and evacuation.
French demolition teams cleared the last shacks in the Calais "Jungle" on October 31, 2016, signalling the end of the notorious camp as concerns mount for thousands of migrants sleeping rough in Paris. Squads of workers using diggers, tractors and cranes had torn down the final tents and makeshift migrant homes on the windswept stretch of northern coastline. Sand, mud and piles of rubbish now mark the spot where thousands of migrants and refugees passed through as they tried to sneak into Britain, making the "Jungle" camp a symbol of Europe's migrant crisis.
