REPORT. Life in the tent camp of Molenbeek is so harrowing: “Food? What we get. shower? Occasionally. To toilet? In the mosque. Wash clothes? Never”

“I’ve been here for four months, on this corner of the bridge. I’ve already had a cold. Hungry too, but usually not. I wear all the clothes I have. My cell phone is the only thing holding me up. Look, these are my kids back home in Afghanistan. I am a recognized asylum seeker and I am entitled to shelter. But I can’t leave: no room. I hold on, but for how long?” Speaking: Salah Udin (27), former investigating judge in Kabul, but now inhabitant of a tent in the expanding refugee camp in Molenbeek. A report from the disgrace of the capital.
