A fight later broke out between groups of Afghans and Sudanese returning to the sprawling "Jungle", which is home to nearly 7,000 migrants from across Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. One Sudanese man died in hospital from stab wounds sustained in the clashes, the police said. The Sudanese man's death brings to 11 the number of migrants who have died this year in and around Calais, the main staging point in France for undocumented migrants and asylum-seekers trying to reach Britain. Last week, Calais authorities announced that the number of people living in the "Jungle" had shot up to 6,901 -- 2,415 more than in June.
