With the freezing temperatures, the situation has become increasingly untenable for the migrants installed under the tracks of line 2, along the boulevard de La Chapelle (18th arrondissement). The prefecture of the Ile-de-France region (Prif) therefore proceeded this Friday morning, with the assistance of the police prefecture, to evacuate the camp, or shelter, according to the term of the authorities.
In all, “771 isolated men were assisted by state services”, according to the Prif press release. The latter indicates that “they will benefit from an assessment of their administrative situation, as well as social, health and administrative support to be reoriented according to their situation”.
This is the third evacuation in a month of these places where after each police operation a new camp is reformed, this time in the space of shared gardens. Therefore, according to Prif data, more than 2,000 people were welcomed during these three operations.
