More than 60 North African migrants are living in tents in the mountains of the Spanish island of Gran Canaria, after abandoning a Red Cross center which they say crammed dozens of them into squalid conditions

GRAN CANARIA, Spain - More than 60 North African migrants are living in tents in the mountains of Spain’s Gran Canaria island with no access to running water after leaving a Red Cross centre which they say crammed dozens of them into squalid conditions.

Every day the group walks 2 km to the San Pedro Church where a local aid organisation, Somos Red, hands out food and water. Hiding his face behind a hood, another complained that people were stealing, drinking and smoking hashish in the Red Cross centre. “I’m a person, not an animal,” he said.The men say they were expelled from the centre. The Red Cross says they left of their own accord after objecting to being temporarily transferred to larger tents within the same site.
