Residents of the Dunkirk camp are living in nylon camping tents, without insulation or adequate protection against the cold and wet conditions being faced. The poor quality of tents leads to dampness of clothing and bedding, further endangering health conditions, often made worse by a lack of adequate nutrition. Health risks are clear, with only one wash station in the entire camp, and only cold water available. With plans of a new camp, currently in debate, we need to focus on the here and now.
