French authorities have built a 10ft “super” wall in Calais in an effort to stop migrants from getting from Calais to France.

The wall has been erected next to a petrol station in Calais and has been likened to President Donald Trump’s proposed wall on the Southern border in the USA.

French politicians claim it is there to stop people smugglers who are taking full advantage of the situation migrants are in in the camps in and around Calais.

Opposition to the wall has seen calls for it to be demolished immediately as they say it causes division among the French community and migrants but authorities say that the wall will remain to stop people being smuggling to and from Calais.
