As thousands of tents and huts are torn down in the Calais Jungle by French Authorities, aerial photographs reveal the dramatic aftermath.
Diggers, lorries and workmen move through the labyrinth of temporary shelters built to house up to 10,000 migrants on the outskirts of Calais.
Only a few weeks before, pictures of the encampment showed a sprawling network of tents, huts and caravans crammed together.
But as those remaining in the camp are taken to new accommodation across France, all that is left behind is rubble, dirt and a scatter of homes.
Despite the demolition, the refugees, many of them minors, slept in some of the remaining shelters that were raised back in March.
More than 100 people are currently bedded down in makeshift schools, churches and mosques, according to charity Care4Calais.
Eyewitnesses said around 50 minors took a bus to other parts of France, while others hold out in hopes they will be transferred to Britain.
But people in France raised concern that migrants will simply set up camp again near the site.
The number of migrants sleeping rough on the streets of Paris has risen by at least a third since the start of the week when the ‘jungle’ shanty town in Calais was evacuated, officials said on Friday.
