Dramatic Calais Jungle before and after pics show how the migrant squat has been demolished
The site was flattened despite stiff resistance from migrants
THESE jaw-dropping aerial pictures show the Calais migrant camp dubbed 'The Jungle' before and after the rickety buildings were pulled down by the French authorities.
The now-razed camp gained notoriety after becoming a vast, lawless slum.
Authorities cleared the last of the camp's makeshift shelters Monday night after evacuating 5,000 migrants to temporary housing around France.
French President Francois Hollande says migrants won't be allowed to resettle at the controversial site.
In an interview published Tuesday in La Voix du Nord newspaper, Hollande is quoted as saying, "I promise (Calais residents) that there will not be a new settlement."
