Migrant: 'I've tried to get on a lorry to England 100 times'
A 17 year-old man from Iraqi-Kurdistan has tried to get to England by lorry 'more than 100 times'.
Aram who has been at the Grand-Synthe migrant camp for four months said he'd tried "all day and all night" to get to England and would try "100 times more" until he succeeded.
Speaking to 5 live's Stephen Chittenden, he described life in 'the Jungle' as "not good" but said he was forced to leave his country due to Daesh, so-called Islamic State.
He said, "If Daesh come to your country you can't stay in your country".
Grand-Synthe migrant camp is in the northern French town of Dunkirk and currently holds around 2,500 people.
