Rais, a 23-year-old migrant from Jalalabad in Afghanistan, was on his way to get a hot meal provided by the Salam charity group at its centre next to a mosque housed in a large white tent.

He has been in the Jungle for two months and says it has got a lot more crowded since he arrived.

"There are fights all the time now. You can get stabbed here for your money," he said.

Like many here, he is determined to get to Britain.

"England good - make money there," he said in his rudimentary English.

But he has no money to pay the Afghan, Kurdish and Pakistani people smugglers who frequent the Jungle.

For €8,000 they will get you there in a day, for €3,000 it might take anything from a week to a couple of months, he said.
