LONDON - As most of Britain headed indoors to wait out the coronavirus, rough sleeper Mohamed Sisi stayed on a patch of pavement opposite London’s Charing Cross rail station with nowhere else to go.

Homeless charities say hundreds are stuck in similar situations in the capital, at a time when homeless shelters are struggling with shortages of staff and supplies. “The big challenge for us under the circumstances would be even more people going off sick, and even more shifts needing to be filled,” said Gray.

Britain’s Prince William, who is the patron of homeless charity The Passage, called on Thursday for more help for rough sleepers, and said he wanted to get 600 more people off the streets by Friday, according to London’s Evening Standard.
