On the night of August 4-5, a fire was declared in an abandoned building of the former warehouse of SotrapOise de Beauvais (Oise), where asylum seekers have been living in an improvised camp for six months. The incident did not cause any casualties but it rekindles tensions between associations, town hall and prefecture about the security of the site and the need for a dignified relocation for the occupants.
