On Wednesday, the southern suburbs of Paris saw hundreds of migrants expelled at the initiative of French authorities, 100 days before the start of the Olympic Games.

Charities have suggested authorities are seeking to empty the French capital of migrants and have accused them of trying to improve its image in preparation for the Olympics from July 26 to August 11.

Nearly 450 migrants, most of them documented, were living in an abandoned building in Vitry-sur-Seine, waiting for social housing, according to NGOs that provided assistance.

Many left the building earlier in the week after authorities announced plans to evacuate it, mostly young men and also a number of women with their children.

Buses were waiting to take them either to the central city of Orleans or to the southwestern city of Bordeaux, but many migrants expressed a desire to stay in the Parisian region.
