Red Cross resumes assistance to asylum seekers in Barajas. The organization returns almost a month after withdrawing from the Madrid airfield due to overcrowding and hygiene conditions.
The crisis at the airport began to brew in the summer with the arrival of hundreds of Somalis who managed to make a stopover in Madrid with passports purchased from Kenya. They were joined by Moroccans and Senegalese, above all, exceeding the capacity that the police and the rooms usually have for processing asylum applications.
