As Rome camp eviction makes refugees homeless, Salvini celebrates

An informal refugee camp in Rome which opened at the height of the crisis in 2015 was evacuated on Tuesday, sending several vulnerable people onto the streets as winter sets in.

Located in an empty car park near one of Rome's main train stations, the Baobab camp would normally host around 300 people, mostly transiting for a few days or months.

While the eviction had been expected for weeks, around 150 people were still at the camp on Tuesday morning when police vans surrounded and closed the area.
