Bathroom in accommodation container at Diavata RIC.
Photographs by interview respondent.
The place [container] they took me to [in
Diavata RIC] was very dirty, there was no
bed, I had to clean the whole place and
find a bed by asking people. When I went
to ask for a mattress so I could sleep they
told me ‘we don’t have a mattress for
you’. It was very dusty, many clothes
were just on the floor, it was chaotic. It
was old clothes from other people and
there were food crumbs.
Male respondent from Algeria, 26 years
The hygienic situation of the camp
[Malakasa RIC] was terrible. I asked
people who had been there for a while
why it was all dirty, and they said no
area was clean [...] They said that they
had to fight a lot and complain about the
hygienic situation.
