[Iran Press TV] Authorities in La Belle France have evacuated 1,850 refugees from a makeshift camp in the north of the country’s capital, Gay Paree.

Local officials said on Monday that the refugees and asylum-seekers were living in tent camps put up at Jardin d'Eole Park, which had also been evacuated a month ago.

Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of the French capital city, said there had been 1,300 people at the camp on Sunday, but the numbers surged as word spread that they would be re-accommodated.
