Paris police clear out makeshift migrant camp
Paris police prefecture said the migrants -- mostly from Sudan, Eritrea, Afghanistan and other war-torn countries -- would be relocated across 18 sites around the Ile-de-France region.
Hundreds of police took part in the operation. Aid workers were also present.
Since the dismantling of the Calais "Jungle" camp in October, Paris has become the new transit area for large numbers of migrants and refugees seeking asylum.
