"Men hold placards reading 'Do you let your children outside..."

Men hold placards reading 'Do you let your children outside by freezing temperatures?' and 'Housing is a right. Call the 115? I'm outside. React!' Several NGOs and associations, such as NGO D.A.L. (Right To Housing) and Case de Sante (Health House), organize a gathering in front of the Prefecture of Occitania as the Prefect decides that the 'plan glacial coldness' (Plan grand froid) will be put in place under severe conditions. This plan opens new shelters and accommodations for people living on the streets. The Prefect decides that the plan activates only if the temperature is below minus 10?C for three consecutive nights and if, during the day, the temperatures remain negative or at 0?C maximum. Already this winter, a man living on the streets dies of cold. Even children stay on the streets if the temperatures remain above -10?C. There is an emergency phone number for people living on the streets, the 115, but the number is always gridlocked. They also denounce the gentrification of the district and the lack of affordable housing in Toulouse, France, on January 28, 2025.
