Four men, two of whom brandished large sticks as weapons, laid tree branches across the motorway in order to trap a truck, Le Figaro reported on Wednesday. One of the men signalled to the driver to stop, while the others ran towards the truck. However, aid organizations say it is a waste of money and "nothing will deter" the migrants from attempting to reach their desired destination.
