		</div><p>Migrants gathered in Calais have described their desperation to reach Britain, as more police are dispatched to the port to control crowds.</p>
<p>Nine people have been killed attempting to cross the Channel in the last month, according to Eurotunnel.</p>
<p>Some 2,000 attempts were made to get to the tunnel on Monday and 1,500 more on Tuesday night and the early hours of Wednesday morning, the operator said.</p>
<p>It is thought that up to 148 people made it to the UK after Monday’s incursion.</p>
<p>Groups from Africa, Asia and Arab countries sheltered under trees as they prepared to make fresh attempts to storm the Channel Tunnel.</p>
<p>They started fires to keep themselves warm as the overnight temperature in northern France dropped.</p>

<p>Among the migrants was Mohammad Al-Mohammad, 26, from Aleppo, Syria, who said he graduated in English literature from the city’s university before the civil war left it in ruins.</p>
<p>Speaking good English, he said that he wanted to carry on studying for a masters degree in the UK, where he claimed his brother was living.</p>
<p>He said he had walked and hitchhiked from a refugee camp in Turkey, through Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Austria and Italy before arriving in France three months ago.</p>
<p>He said: ”I have tried maybe nine or 10 times to get to the tunnel but I have failed.</p>
<p>”I have come here for many reasons. The Syrian regime wanted me for military service.</p>
<p>”I graduated from the University of Aleppo after three years and Isis (Islamic State) wanted me to teach the kids (to be) jihadists and I refused.</p>
<p>”When I graduated there was no work because of the war and in the area where I live there is no electricity, no internet, there is nothing because the war has destroyed everything.</p>
<p>”I am seeking peace in the United Kingdom and my brother is there. I ask the United Kingdom authorities to help me to go to him.”</p>
<p>Raihan Jan, 24, a clerk from eastern Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province, said that he had travelled first to Iran, then on to Turkey, Greece and Italy before arriving in Calais four days ago.</p>
<p>He told reporters: “We heard that one guy died last night and we know it’s very dangerous, but there is not another way to go the UK.</p>
<p>“This is the last chance that we have. We think that the economy is a little bit better in the UK so we will get a chance to have documents and some work.</p>
<p>“Life in our villages is very difficult, we can’t live there. I lost an uncle and we lost all our property and home in the war, everything was destroyed.“</p>
<p>I heard that it is also difficult there in the UK but we will try. We are going to try again tonight because last night there were no trains.”</p>
