Homeless population has mushroomed in last five years

Between Gare do Oriente and Cais de Sodré station, passing through Rossio in Lisbon, tents and small shelters made of cardboard are crowded together, with immigrants outnumbering Portuguese who live on the streets.

All the homeless immigrants approached by Lusa this week were undocumented, although some had left behind a job in the greenhouses of the Alentejo.

They have come from Brazil, India, Nepal, Morocco, Gambia, Senegal, Angola and many other countries, some can only communicate in English, and although life in Lisbon isn’t going well for them – especially with the winter wind and rain – few want to go back to their countries, as they believe they’ll be able to find work and organise their lives here.

For the time being, they live off the help of organisations such as Comunidade Vida e Paz (Life and Peace Community).

Every weekday evening at 8pm, the community’s vans leave from nearby Avenida dos Estados Unidos da América for various points in the capital, loaded with sandwiches, yogurts, blankets and other goods, including clothes, which they know the homeless people on their watch need.
