Marseille faces an increase in crack cocaine use on the street
Residents of the 1st arrondissement are calling for a care structure for dependent people living in public spaces.
Crack cocaine use in the streets of Marseille has risen sharply in recent months, according to an RFI report on the situation in the 1st arrondissement.
Residents say they are confronted daily with open-air drug use and prostitution, in a context aggravated by a summer of high heat. They are asking for the creation of an addiction care centre to take care of users living on the street.
The project for such a structure had been abandoned two years earlier, the report recalls. The excerpt provided does not specify whether local or national authorities have revived the case or what alternative measures are currently in place.
