French authorities clear migrant camp called ‘the Jungle’

Migrants react as they wait to register at a processing center in the makeshift migrant camp known as “the Jungle.”

Migrants cycle on Monday through the camp on the outskirts of the northern French port city of Calais.

Migrants arrive by bus from “the Jungle” to a shelter in Lyon, France. French authorities began moving thousands of people out before demolishing the camp that has served as a launchpad for attempts to sneak into Britain.

Migrants arrive by bus from the Calais camp to a shelter in Lyon, in southeastern France.

Camp residents dance next to a fire Monday. Camp inhabitants — about 6,500 by official count, but closer to 8,300 according to aid workers — will be sent to reception centers across the country, officials say.
