Calais, France
Badr and his cousin Mhamod, migrants from
Syria, cover themselves with blankets in Calais. Badr has been in Calais for over a week. His tent was taken by police so he slept
under a footbridge in the centre of town, huddled with six mothers for
warmth. It is a year since at least 27
migrants drowned when their boat capsized in the Channel. While the tragedy has not been repeated,
partly due to better coordination between French and British coastguards, at
first sight there is little other change in the wretched conditions faced by
migrants in northern France. Photograph:
