The impact of the Olympic Games on the homeless people of Paris

According to Fars news agency, more than 70 French charities have asked the Paris Olympic Games Organizing Committee to ensure that the event does not pose a risk to those living on the streets or in emergency shelters.

The social cleansing of the streets of Paris and the Ile-de-France area has already begun. The campaign, launched this week by more than 70 charities working with homeless people, migrants and other vulnerable populations, aims to draw attention to the possible consequences of the Paris Olympics for the capital’s poorest residents.

They have warned that the Paris Olympics will have a very negative impact on the lives of these people, which can be mentioned by reducing food distribution and evicting the homeless.

Charities have been warning for months about a shortage of emergency housing during the Games. The national government has asked local authorities in other regions of France to set up reception centers for homeless people to live in temporarily.
