500 white tents for six people each are available along a straight camp road. Be situated between the railway line and the motorway, not far from Grand synthetic polyş, a district of the French town of Dunkirk on the channel coast. The refugee camp is not quite finished yet. In March should be 2500 migrants to move in, which is now a few hundred meters away in a wild Camp in the mud without adequate toilet facilities and heating have to endure.

At first glance, the new warehouse of similar Camps in Turkey or Syria. This here is but right in the rich EU-member state France. The international aid organization Doctors without borders (MFS) builds and operates the camp. It is the first of its kind in the European Union. So far had the “Doctors without borders” in Greece and Bulgaria in smaller bets refugees medical supplies. Otherwise, concentrates the non-governmental organization on poor countries in the third world.

The MFS are called in to help had the mayor of Grande synthetic polyş, the Green Damien Careme. “I just did not bear it anymore, these kids to see,” said Careme in a newspaper interview.

France in Need?

The wild Camp was in the last autumn, on a building site has grown – in the middle of a residential area. Hundreds of Iraqi Kurds had the Area occupied. They were previously from the “jungle of Calais” had fled, another wild Camp in the 40 kilometers away, in the port city. There it had increasingly clashes with Arab Groups and also to the police, to report migrants in the camps of Grande synthetic polyş.

Doctor Grollé: “First measles and flu shots”

The new refugee camp is now on an Area that the mayor of the “Doctors without borders” has left. Money to Operate the facility, Damien Careme don’t. The parent French authorities would be the Problem just ignore it, accuses the city of Grande synthetic polyş. “Doctors without borders” deals with France now as an emergency, says the MFS-project Manager for emergency operations, Laurent Sury. The States now were inhuman.

And a fence around the new camp is funded by the city Council. However, this can be only for the protection for the refugees. You could camp at any time entering or leaving, be sure the “Doctors without borders”. It is important that the migrants, including many children, and regular medical care. Why did the charity even with a vaccination campaign against measles and the flu started, says Doctor Caroline Gollé.

Significant Improvements

Compared with the current conditions, expect the migrants in the new camp of Grande synthetic polyş March significant improvements. There will be heated tents, fixed sanitary facilities, an infirmary and a kitchen. Besides, going to the camp illuminated at night, in order to increase security, say the staff of the “Doctors without borders” on the building site. It is even cell phone charging stations: electrical outlets in an old barn, to which the migrants to their Smartphones free of charge.

In the wild stock of Grande synthetic polyş, there are not all. “The conditions here are worse than what I had in the Iraq war, partially seen,” says Chris Bailey while he was in the mud Blankets and Wellington boots distributed. Bailey belongs to a group of British veterans, from Hertfordshire regularly across the English Channel come to be in Wochenschichten in the wild stock to help.

Also German Volunteers has made it to Grand synthetic polyş devious. Sinan von Stietencron of the benefit society “Volxküche” is with his field kitchen from the Bavarian capital have come. “Munich’s not so many refugees. Here we will be needed now. I have thought that before the refugees come to us, we come dear to them.”

Field kitchen of the “Volxküche”: “Here we are needed now”

In the vicinity of the old camp are the residents of split opinion on what the refugees are concerned. On the side of the road directly opposite the muddy Camp washes an elderly gentleman to his car in front of his neat house. He complains about the dangers of the migrants originate. “Here, there was already gunfire,” he says indignantly.

The will of the two police officers confirmed that the front of the entrance to the Camp Post. The police must especially in the evening, to intervene if there are disputes between Schlepperbanden and different ethnic groups come. The local supermarkets have extra security personnel in front of their entrances. “I do Yes the children are suffering over there,” says a woman on the road, for the camp. However, it is, however, that the refugees stay longer.

Terminus Grande Synthetic Polyş?

The green mayor Damien Careme, has no illusions. He knows that the majority of the residents of Grand synthetic polyş against a permanent refugee camps. The will probably at some point be office costs, he believes. The influx of new refugees and migrants could be in the next few weeks, even increase, because in the neighbouring Calais is supposed to be a part of the “jungle”refugee camps to be cleared.

Refugee Lizman: “tractor demand 5000 Euro”

“Well possible that then more come,” says the volunteer, Denise, in the makeshift kitchen of the old camp tea ausschenkt. “I’m here already since ten years,” she says. As long as there have refugees here. Not as many, but ten years ago, was in Calais once a large warehouse at the channel tunnel had been cleared out. “And somewhere, the people must go”, says the French assistant, even in Grande synthetic polyş lives.

The migrants want to almost all continue to the UK. Most don’t know how. Lizman, a Kurd from Iraq, says he has already three times the port tries on a ferry to come. But he was always caught again. Up to 5000 Euro he did not, the tractor now for a place in a Truck to England demanded. It remains only to wait. In the Grand synthetic polyş home to Lizman for three months.
