Increase Of Migrants Puts Pressure On The Italian-french Cross-border Network Of Montgenevre

BRIANCON, FRANCE - SEPTEMBER 11: Migrants talk and rest after walking for two days in the mountains inside tent city managed by the Refuges Solidaires association on September 11, 2023 in Briancon, France. A tent city that was created after the closure of an overpopulation facility managed by the Refuges Solidaires association of Briancon, France, has been welcoming and helping for about a month near the St. Catherine Parish church. It is managed by French and Italian volunteers who give shelter and help to migrants coming from the Italian-French border who walked through the mountains towards Briancon, France, but on 12 September the tent city will be dismantled by the French police forces. For about a month the situation has worsened after the closure of a reception center in Briançon, France, with the formation of tent cities in front of a church in Briançon due to the continuous landing of refugees in Lampedusa, Italy. Migrants arriving in Northern Italy gather at the Italian-French border and then attempt to leave for France via mountain passes or using buses connected from Oulx, Italy to Briancon, France.
