Despite citizen complaints, no significant initiatives have been taken to improve sanitary conditions or remove the camps.

Photos from the area show people living without basic facilities, in makeshift shelters that offer minimal protection from the elements.

The local community is concerned about public health and the image of the city, while migrants continue to live in dire conditions, with no hope for improvement in their living standards.
