'Thousands of people are living in makeshift camps in Calais hoping that one day they will make it to the UK. Many once had
good jobs - but fleeing from war and persecution most now have no money, and little dignity, in a town that is fed up with
them.'

The northern French port of Calais is facing an international refugee crisis. Thousands of illegal migrants have descended on the
town with the intention of making it across the English Channel to the UK, any way they can. Many are fleeing deadly wars at
home and are prepared to take extreme risks. Some sneak into the back of UK bound trucks while others hide themselves in the
undercarriage. Calais says it can no longer cope with the squatter camps and rising crime which accompany the gangs of
desperate young men determined to make it across one of Europe's most heavily guarded borders. Darius Bazargan has been to
Calais to meet the migrants, and the locals, caught up in a growing humanitarian crisis.
