On the morning of Thursday, May 15, the day began like any other for the displaced people who found refuge in the former premises of the Fusion party in Bourdon. Since they were forced to leave their homes, their daily life has been far from peaceful. At the entrance of this shelter, two makeshift showers, without doors or curtains for privacy, welcome those who frequent the site. Wastewater from the showers is directly discharged into the street.

This camp, located in the former premises of the Fusion party in Bourdon, is a vast cluster of makeshift shelters made of worn-out metal sheets and plastic tarps, through which one has to squeeze to find their way. In this vast open-air camp, 681 families—around 3,400 people—struggle to hold on to life. Their lack of resources is manifold: water for daily use, drinking water, infrastructure, and for some, even a roof to protect them from the weather. In this camp, only one sanitary block with two toilets serves all the residents.
