More than 3,800 migrants were evacuated from makeshift camps in Paris Friday in the city's largest effort yet to move asylum seekers to shelter. The 30th operation of its kind moved Afghans, Sudanese, Ethiopian and Eritreans from the makeshift camps around the Stalingrad and Jaurès metro stations to temporary shelters across Greater Paris. The numbers relocated Friday far exceed previous estimates of around 2,500 living in the makeshift camps. At dawn, a handful of Afghan migrants anxiously await transport away from the makeshift camp. The number of migrants on Paris streets swelled in the last few weeks, especially after the closing of the camp in Calais.
