WAR & IMMIGRATION BY FORCE

  • Photographer
    BABAK MANI (Babak Aliasgharian), France

I took these photos in the place that named "JUNGLE" in Calais -
France in several months. SEYED MOSTAFA was born in war (
Afghanistan ). He & his wife decided to immigration because of recent
violence & insecure situation in their own home country. In the
beginning of this dangerous journey they found out that she is
pregnant & baby will coming…! In this situation after months passing
different lands with so many difficulties finally they are staying here in
order to go to UK. Very cold climate in JUNGLE, poor & lack of
nourishing & hygiene are important problems for them. In reality hard
situations of life all the time with them even after war.
