About 300 men, women, children and unaccompanied minors were evacuated by the police from a tunnel located between the 19th arrondissement of Paris and Pré-Saint-Gervais (Seine-Saint-Denis) this Thursday.
These migrants had been living there since February 14, says Le Parisien.
They lived in tents covered with tarpaulins, glued to each other in several rows.
The evacuees were divided into several groups driven by coach to different accommodation centers.
Pierre Mathurin, head of the Utopia56 association, said that several dozen Afghans had come there from Pantin (Seine-Saint-Denis).

They tried to get into the buses.
The activist explained that he feared that the number of planned receptions would be insufficient.
The operation follows a demonstration by local residents organized at the end of November 2021 to demand that these migrants be sheltered.
150 of them lived in the tunnel then, but their number has since doubled.
