Description
"My wife is seven months pregnant. We sleep outside. We call 115 and they often say 'there's no room'": in a tent at the foot of a Paris school with dozens of other Ivorian migrants, Moussa and his wife are preparing to spend another night out in the cold. Next to their makeshift shelter, a mother feeds her baby on the ground, while a little girl dances a few steps. According to the Abbé Pierre Foundation, "at least 2,800 children sleep rough every night". "We've never had such a high figure since we started counting", says its director of studies, "yet France has the means to keep children off the streets". IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
