"After fleeing a refugee camp in Jordan, he and his young family were offered a room in a London hotel, which had been designated for asylum seekers by the goverment. Abu and his wife Sarah* live there with their two young children, packed together into a tired and bleak single room. Living day to day inside the four walls, they survive on a diet of bread, cheese and fruit."
"Abu had little with him when he arrived in Britain and, after his pair of trousers got torn, he was left with only one outfit - the tracksuit he had arrived in. Once a week, Sarah would hand-wash his tracksuit in the sink of their hotel room. With nothing else to wear, he would remain there for a day or two in his underwear until his clothes had dried."

A refugee family from a Jordan camp was placed in a government-designated London hotel for asylum seekers. The family lives cramped in a single room, survives on bread, cheese and fruit, and stopped eating hotel food after two young children contracted food poisoning from uncooked chicken. The father had only the tracksuit he arrived in and waited days while it dried after hand-washing.
