France’s interior minister has ordered Paris forcibly evacuate migrant camps that have sprung up along its canals. The move is emblematic of France’s tough new approach to migrants.
The French Interior Ministry pledged to evict about 2,300 migrants camped next to popular Parisian canals.
The contentious decision has highlighted the problem of how European nations are managing the continuing migrant influx.
For several months migrants have been settling on the banks of two canals in the northeast of Paris.
Aid organizations have sounded the alarm about the living conditions there after two migrants drowned and others were injured in fights.
