SECTION 4:FOOD AND WATER
"A hungry man is an angry man"
The amount of food given to asylum seekers for a full day (on the left, breakfast, and on the right, lunch
and dinner combined), pictures are from 29th May 2023.
The food provided in the Samos CCAC was described by respondents as inedible or to have
gone bad upon distribution. Respondents explain:
We have to remove the green colour [mould] and eat it.
Everyone has stomach ache everyday.
Respondents described in more detail the visual aspect of the food they receive as sometimes
green, sometimes blue, and the chicken is said to be “full of blood”.
It’s not for humans. Some food is so old it has started to ferment, sweat, rise.
The air inside the packet is puffed up. When you break the plastic seal, the
smell is very bad.
