Asylum-seekers, often fleeing conflict, persecution, or violence in their home countries, arrive in the UK with the hope of finding safety and a chance for a better life. However, their dreams are quickly shattered when they are placed in overcrowded, unsafe, and unsanitary conditions. The controversial housing barge, aptly termed a 'deathtrap,' is a stark example of the substandard living conditions that asylum-seekers are forced to endure.

Reports reveal that the barge is riddled with structural issues, lacks proper ventilation, and poses serious safety risks. The cramped living spaces and inadequate facilities not only compromise the physical well-being of the residents but also undermine their mental and emotional health. These conditions are not only inhumane but also raise concerns about the UK's commitment to upholding international standards of human rights and the treatment of vulnerable populations.
