Out of the Jungle

Last week the French government cleared an unofficial camp set up by migrants at Calais, known as The Jungle. The occupants of the camp were dispersed.

An association called SALAM, which offers food and help to the migrants, say many of the hundreds of migrants, mostly from Afghanistan, have already made their way back.

SALAM worker Sylvie Copyans was a familiar face at the Jungle camp.

She's been working with the migrants in Calais since days of the Sangatte camp, run by the Red Cross .

Through a translator, Sylvie described conditions in the Jungle camp and how things look now.
