On those fires they'd be and boiling milk or cooking some that they'd gotten hold of. Because it had been raining so much, people's clothes and the tents themselves were really wet. So there were people walking around with wet shoes and clothes and didn't have any option to kind of get dry. Ies, yestisism. Here's no work, no job in france. We all know. Many of them, theyare living on the street.
