The '''Calais Jungle''' (known officially as '''Camp de la Lande''') was a [[refugee]] and [[Economic migrant|immigrant]] encampment in the vicinity of [[Calais]],
The camp was located on a former [[landfill]] site to the east of Calais. By July 2015, it had 3,000 inhabitants and continued to grow. Although estimates of the number of migrants differed, a [[Help Refugees]] [[census]] gave a figure of 8,143 people just before the camp's demolition in October 2016. As well as residences, the Jungle contained shops, restaurants, hairdressers, schools, places of worship and a boxing club.

In January 2016, French authorities opened a new area in the northeastern part of the jungle.<ref name="BlamontJanuary2016">{{cite news |last1=Blamont |first1=Matthias |title=Migrant shelter made of shipping containers opens in France's Calais |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-calais-idUSKCN0UP23R20160111 |access-date=21 August 2019 |work=Reuters |date=11 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190802172357/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-calais-idUSKCN0UP23R20160111 |archive-date=2 August 2019}}</ref> They had earlier cleared tents and shacks from this area and erected 125 metal [[shipping container]]s in their place, converting them into [[Containerized housing unit|housing units]] for up to 1,500 migrants.<ref name="BlamontJanuary2016"/> Shipping containers, rather than more permanent structures, were chosen because the sand dunes are unfit for permanent [[Foundation (engineering)|foundations]].<ref name="BlamontJanuary2016"/> The containers were white and furnished with [[bunk bed]]s, windows, and heaters, but had no [[Tap water|running water]] or sanitary facilities (toilets and showers were made available at an existing nearby facility). At the time, [[Reuters]] described the entire jungle as "squalid" and "unsanitary" and estimated its total population to be 4,000.<ref name="BlamontJanuary2016"/>
Many migrants subsequently moved into the container housing, but some resisted the French government's ultimatum to leave their makeshift housing and live in the container area, citing its spartan setup, lack of communal areas, and their fears that once in the new housing area, they would be blocked from going to Britain.<ref name="Elzas">{{cite news |last1=Elzas |first1=Sarah|title=Calais Jungle to be demolished, yet migrants resist government rehousing |url=http://en.rfi.fr/europe/20160222-calais-jungle-be-demolished-yet-migrants-resist-government-housing |access-date=21 August 2019 |work=Radio France Internationale|date=22 February 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160424155453/http://en.rfi.fr/europe/20160222-calais-jungle-be-demolished-yet-migrants-resist-government-housing|archive-date=24 April 2016}}</ref><ref name="Bulldozers">{{cite news |last1=Kingsley |first1=Patrick|title=Calais 'Jungle' residents defy bulldozers as police issue ultimatum to leave |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/12/calais-jungle-residents-defy-bulldozers-police-ultimatum |access-date=21 August 2019 |work=Guardian |date=12 January 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161221144945/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/12/calais-jungle-residents-defy-bulldozers-police-ultimatum|archive-date=21 December 2016}}</ref> This concern arose because the containers were enclosed by a [[Chain-link fencing|metal fence]] and it was necessary to give a [[Biometrics|fingerprint to gain access]]. Under the [[Dublin Regulation]] an asylum seeker must seek asylum in the [[EU Member State]] where they first gave their fingerprints and they may not seek asylum elsewhere, thus some migrants were concerned that if their fingerprints were taken in France they would then not be able to claim [[Modern immigration to the United Kingdom#Refugees and asylum seekers|asylum in the UK]]. The authorities stated the fingerprints were taken for security reasons.<ref name="BlamontJanuary2016" /><ref name=Elzas />
