Ce matin sur le campement de Loon-Plage près de Calais, en lendemain de canicule (40°C), les autorités viennent purement et simplement de confisquer la cuve d'eau mise à disposition des personnes exilées à la frontière franco-britannique. @HumanRightsObs a pu filmer la scène.

Lors d'une réunion entre plusieurs associations et la sous-préfecture de Dunkerque, il avait été convenu que les cuves d'eau mises à disposition des personnes exilées par @CharitableRoots ne seraient pas saisies lors des opérations d'expulsions.
Cela n'a pas été le cas ce matin.

The Home Secretary claims she wants concrete proposals to replace the inhumane plans in her #Immigration Bill to deal with #channelcrossings but when presented with one she dismisses it out of hand. With thanks to @donate4refugees & @HumanRightsCtte

Dear @BBCNewsnight, over the last four days we have been pitching eight different diverse climate scientists, policy experts, academics and activists with many decades of climate experience between them to discuss the #IPCC report. There was no need for this to happen
It has now been nearly 3 weeks since the skips in camp have been emptied. Where are you? @VilleGdeSynthe.

Your regular reminder that the number of people claiming asylum dropped by 40% this year.
And this is what the Home Office has made of that situation.
💦💚Water Point Maintenance💚💦
The water point maintenance is one of the ways we help in camp. During an eviction it was moved by the authorities to somewhere a little nonsensical.
Big thanks to @Care4Calais for helping us move this 💪💚
