Picture: LBCLBC has been inside a hotel housing asylum seekers in North West London, where an Afghan midwife says she and her daughter are "afraid to use the corridors at night".
She told LBC they are terrified by the hundreds of men from "all different countries and cultures", who occupy most of the hotel and drunkenly roam the halls. She described how one night, a "drunk boy" came banging on their bedroom door whilst her 11-year-old was in the room alone. She showed LBC examples of the meals that are served in the hotel which includes one slice of bread, one slice of processed cheese, and an apple. Most other meals are microwave ready-meals, or food that is "unbearably spicy"."My daughter knows how to be patient, but sometimes for three or four days she doesn't want to eat anything. But I don't have money to go and buy something for her.
She said her daughter "is fed potatoes every day but she will not eat them, and she has lost weight. When we ask for something different, they tell us to go and feed the baby bananas." Naza's husband Eylo* said: "They take it on a Friday and bring it back on a Saturday, but in the meantime you have nothing to wear. Sometimes it comes back and it's not cleaned properly.
Both families told LBC they are concerned about being sent to Rwanda under the government's plan to tackle small boat crossings via the channel.
