EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the sprawling makeshift camp known as the "Jungle" in Calais, northern France. The image showcases a remarkable scene as containers are being strategically placed to accommodate several hundred migrants seeking refuge in this squalid settlement. Taken on January 17,2016, by Pascal Rossignol for Reuters Images, it offers a unique perspective of the camp's transformation. The photograph highlights the creative use of these containers amidst a rural landscape, where tents and trees dot the surroundings. With no people visible in the frame, it emphasizes the magnitude of migration and temporary living conditions faced by those hoping for a better future. The composition also draws attention to an adjacent lake that serves as a stark contrast to the challenging circumstances depicted within this refugee camp. This juxtaposition reminds viewers of both hope and despair coexisting side by side. Rossignol's lens captures not only an aerial view but also portrays an important social issue affecting our world today. It sheds light on how individuals from different backgrounds come together under challenging circumstances while striving for survival and security. This thought-provoking image invites contemplation about human resilience, compassion towards refugees fleeing their homes, and prompts reflection on global responses to such crises.
