1.000 migrants re-located from Paris camp to accommodation centers
May 3, 2016 - 08:45 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Police evacuated more than one thousand people from a makeshift migrant camp near aParis metro station on Monday, May 2, the third time the camp has been cleared in as many months, AFP reports.
Shortly after 6:00 am, people who had been staying in the tightly packed tents under an elevated section of the Stalingrad station in the north of Paris began boarding buses to take them to reception centers.
The evacuation passed off largely without incident, authorities said, according to AFP.
Although only around 500 people had been counted at the camp the night before, police said around 1,350 people had gathered there Monday to be re-located to accommodation centres, suggesting that migrants from other parts of Paris had swelled their numbers.
Around 150 police officers were involved in the operation to relocate the migrants, mostly from Sudan and Afghanistan.
Flimsy tents were packed into a small area around the station and the overflowing rubbish bins and piles of mattresses indicated that conditions at the camp had deteriorated in recent weeks.
Nearly 80,000 people applied for asylum in France in 2015, but it has been affected less than its European neighbors by the mass influx of migrants over the last 18 months.
The main migrant camp in France, the so-called "Jungle" in the northern port of Calais, now holds around 5,000 people, according to charity workers, but the government says that figure is vastly inflated.
