CALAIS, France (Reuters) - France on Monday opened a migrants' shelter made of converted shipping containers in Calais on its northern Channel coast to try to bring some order to the so-called "jungle" camp in sand dunes near the port.
The squalid, unsanitary "jungle" hosts 4,000 migrants from poor and strife-torn countries outside the European Union, most of whom hope to reach Britain across the Channel where a greater number of job opportunities and the more familiar English language are big draws.
