Calais Immigrants
An Afghan migrant stows away on a passing lorry, yesterday near the ferry port in Calais, France, in an attempt to reach the UK
Fellow Afghans first attempted to slow down the truck and distract the driver as he slowed near a road junction, while the stow away, who had been hidden behind a wall, ran under the trailer and climbed on its rear axle.
It is not known if this person made it through to the ferry terminal or to the UK.
There are still an unknown number of migrants in makeshift camps around the French port, varying estimates range from between 500 up to 1500 - even after the closure of the Red Cross run Sangatte centre in 2002, more arrive everyday to try and make their way into the UK illegally.
