A young boy shields his face as we talk upon my arrival into 'The Jungle'. At only thirteen, he was one of an estimated 1,290 minors living in camp, many of whom faced continuous human rights abuses by police in the region.

A boy collects water from one of the few facilities distributed throughout the camp. Though some access to water existed throughout the duration of 'The Jungle', sanitation was poor and issues of water quality were prevalent.
