    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    “How can we expect a good lawyer from this centre? We’re only eating bread since we arrived,” a Tunisian man says. He is speaking to a Médecins Sans Frontière (MSF) staff member at a reception centre in the Sicilian city of Agrigento. The staff member had tried explaining to a group of men – who recently crossed the Mediterranean Sea – that they were probably in an “accelerated” procedure. This means they are deemed by Italian authorities not to be vulnerable or from countries li

    They had come from near and far: women, men and children, from The Gambia and countries further afield, such as Senegal, Guinea and Mali. Many were the breadwinners for their families.
