Police clear migrant camp of more than 350 on outskirts of Paris
The camp was evacuated by the French police on Wednesday, for the 15th time since the beginning of 2022. It is located along the banks of the Ourcq Canal on the outskirts of the French capital. According to the authorities, it was evacuated because it posed a danger to those camping there, being so near to the water, as well as because of the poor sanitary conditions. The people were taken to centers in the Ile-de-France area and in the wider region around Paris. According to the German news agency dpa, the men had been staying at the camp for several months. The NGO Utopia 56 informs about another settlement under the bridges between Pantin and Paris, criticizing the government’s strategy of dealing with migrants as “unacceptable” and calling on the authorities not to abandon the people to the street. read more
