Shelter Travellers: Paris Streets and Samantha Power

shelter travellers: Because we are dealing with the largest displacement crisis since World War II, it has overwhelmed the global system, Power said, according to Metro News. She spoke after a tour of a way station for migrants in northern Paris, opened a month ago to shelter travellers for up to 10 days while helping them apply for asylum, then placing them in more permanent lodgings. Samantha Power said that from the United States to Europe to the Middle East no one was ready for the crisis. The centre can house 400 single men a far cry from the nearly 30,000 people taken off Paris streets over the past year. It opened two weeks after some 7,000 migrants, most trying to sneak into Britain, were evacuated from a camp in the English Channel port city of Calais and given temporary lodgings around France. But it is the first official attempt to organize and speed up asylum bids. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
