Migrants Removed from Paris Ahead of Olympics

Dozens of families relocated as city gears up for the summer games, sparking concerns over housing solutions.

French police removed dozens of migrants, including families with young children, from the forecourt of Paris City Hall as the city prepares for the Olympic Games.
The operation involved about 50 individuals, mostly women and children aged 3 months to 10 years, who were relocated to temporary housing in Besançon, eastern France.
Aid workers express concerns over Paris authorities' broader efforts to clear migrants and homeless individuals from the city without offering long-term housing solutions.
Migrants, primarily from French-speaking African countries, had been living under the ornate facade of the Paris monument for varying durations.
Olympics organizers are reportedly working with aid groups to find solutions for those living on the streets, amidst fears of social cleansing ahead of the Games.
