but officers want to avoid violence and have been easing their powers of persuasion to convince migrants to move to the new come peacefully. the u.s. refugee agency has also been urging migrants to relocate from sleeping rough on the streets. as long as it is peaceful we believe that it is a good move considering that. here on the street it is a risk for security for public health and. it's not dignity which we need for. everyone. but despite the squalid conditions on the streets many migrants have said they prefer to stay there than risk being detained for months in the new camp. going to one could in the look that comes through not on a good one but we want to free life we've come here to live we are human

4:05 pm
traumatized again by the big fire now and fearing that to same situation will date they will have to use case the same situation again without electricity without seeing any docsis because many people actually have chronic diseases or are you know in high need of medical attention at this point and yet what's what the past has told them is that it's very very difficult to get this medical legal attention or any kind of basic rights accessibility is very disappointing 10 people already died d. hydrated to this moment they didn't have the access to proper. care and i mean no toilet paper no diapers no milk powder and full of the kids so for the families now it's really giving in into this new camp structure and i spoke to
