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.
