Politis reported that Calais’s mayor had issued an order barring associations from distributing food, after the municipality had also obstructed the installation of showers for migrants. Associations and aid groups challenged the restrictions through legal and public advocacy. The dispute illustrates how routine acts of care—food, water, hygiene—became politicized at the border, and how humanitarian language coexisted with pressure to make displaced people leave.
