In the wake of Nice truck attack, people are tweeting with previously used hashtags to express solidarity with the victims or help survivors find accommodation.

The hashtag #PortesOuverts, first used during the Paris attacks of last November, has been revived to offer or ask for a place to stay after the night attack in the southern French city.
