Tuesday's operation is thought to be the biggest of its kind since the Calais Jungle - home to up to 8,000 migrants - was dismantled in 2016.
Hundreds of migrants, mainly Afghans, are evacuated from a car park-turned-camp near Paris where they had been staying for about five months. "There should be the same treatment for everyone," says one volunteer from the Solidarite Migrants Wilson collective, who says the standards of care should be the same as that provided to Ukrainian refugees.
The report accuses the police of mass evictions, harassment, and restricting access to humanitarian assistance for migrants on the northern French coast.
