Four people were shot and 18 others injured in clashes among dozens of migrants in the northern port city of Calais.

The brawl broke out between migrants from Afghanistan and Eritrea, and gunshots ensued. The four migrants who were shot were transported to a local hospital. They remained hospitalized, a spokesperson for the Pas-de-Calais prefecture told ABC News.

French Interior Minister Gerard Collomb praised the police officers who intervened in the brawl, noting that 84 officers have been wounded in Calais in the past two years.

Some 9,000 migrants lived in the infamous "Jungle" makeshift camp in Calais before authorities dismantled it in October 2016. Around 500 migrants still live in the area, according to authorities, though charity groups put the figure closer to 800.

The migrants have the option of going to reception centers where they can apply for asylum in Calais or elsewhere around the country. But many refuse to go to the centers and instead set up small camps near Calais, with hopes they'll be able to use the port city as a gateway to cross the English Channel to the United Kingdom.
