Lining up for donated clothes and a warm meal are more than a hundred men who’ve survived western-backed wars in the Middle East and Africa and a death-defying journey to get to the UK.
A former bank employee Kinan is a Syrian asylum-seeker living in temporary accommodation in the Welsh city of Cardiff. Before Cardiff, this father of one and his fellow asylum seekers had been housed in a dilapidated Army barracks in the coastal village of Penally. Economist Fatih, worked as a risk analyst in his home country.
Asylum seekers are housed with appropriate accommodation is available and we are encouraging more local authorities to help. We take the of well-being asylum seekers extremely seriously and any abuse is completely unacceptable.
The UK government says asylum seekers are housed with appropriate accommodation is available and we are encouraging more local authorities to help. We take the well-being of asylum seekers extremely seriously and any abuse is completely unacceptable.
The organizer of the welcoming event in Cardiff who’s also spent a lifetime combating racism, believes the government has failed live up to its obligation. After surviving the dangerous journey to Europe, they were greeted with this. Far-right protests in Dover last year.
Today an act of kindness and compassion here in Cardiff to the more than a hundred refugees and asylum seekers who fled western backed, wars and persecution in the Middle East and Africa. Contrast that with the hostility and hate from those who think their country is being invaded by irregular immigrants.
One of the consequences of coronavirus has meant the country’s already overloaded asylum application system has ground to a halt leaving these men living a life of wait and see.
Britain remains the fifth most favorite European destination for refugees and asylum seekers, way behind Germany, France, Spain, and Greece. Kinan and others refugees and asylum seekers have survived war and the perilous voyage here, but their journey to call it their new home is only just beginning.
