Calais: Police fire teargas as refugees try to board trucks

A group of about a hundred refugees rushed to the motorway leading to the Eurotunnel on 21 January, in the hope of boarding trucks on their way to the United Kingdom, but were pushed back by police firing teargas at them. Thousands of refugees fleeing war and poverty in Africa and the Middle East have gathered in or near the northern coastal town of Calais over the past year, using it as a stop-over point before trying to enter Britain in the hope of a better life.
