Paris police evict hundreds of migrants from camp ahead of Olympics | BBC News

French police have removed hundreds of migrants from a camp in Paris as part of an operation to prepare the capital for hosting the 2024 Olympic Games. The camp in Vitry-sur-Seine was home to more than 400 migrants before police carried out a large-scale eviction. Authorities say the squat was illegal, as they push to dismantle homeless and migrant camps ahead of the Games, but aid workers fear that those evicted now lack longer-term housing assistance.
