Prisoners had more private space than migrants

About 15 to 20 migrants live in one room, and in the former Kybartai prison, the maximum number of prisoners in a room was 11.

Migrants in the new camp complain that they have no private space. In small rooms, they think, there are too many people living in them, and in some places the space between the beds is only half a meter.

The men sleep in metal bunks. To create a private space, they place sheets, towels or clothing between the beds in the cabin.

Each room has a desk and lockers where migrants can store their belongings. Upon reaching Kybartai, they received a blanket, pillow, towel, and soap.

Say hello to improved food

Feeding hours at Rūdninkai camp were uneven. Sometimes the boys had breakfast at 10 am and sometimes at 2 pm Dinner was served at 10 at night and sometimes at midnight. Therefore, the men are happy that they are given food regularly in this camp, there is no delay.

Free meals are provided to migrants three times a day. Food is cooked on the camp ground. At set times, the migrants arrive at the dining room. You have thirty minutes to eat here. Iraqis say that the food in this camp is much tastier than in Rūdninkai. The portions are bigger, more vegetables and fruits.

Iraqi Saffa and his entire sector eat breakfast around 7pm in the morning, lunch at 12 noon and dinner at 5pm.

The camp also has a kitchen area. It has a desk, fridge and kettle. However, there is no stove to reheat food.

The downtown store is not open yet.

Wash with cold water

There are showers and toilets on each floor.

Iraqis Muhammad and Saffa said that water taps were installed in their bathrooms at a height of about 50 cm in their residential building. Here, the newcomers also found a bucket and a rubber hose.

Currently, migrants wash and wash their clothes with water heated in an electric kettle.

The SBGS announced even before the migrants entered that the water would be cold for the time being, but that it would be possible to swim in the sauna.

The bathrooms are in a separate room. Not all work, some are clogged with dirt and debris.

After dinner, each floor is closed.

Each sector has its own inner courtyard. Saffa and Mohammed live with immigrants of Arab descent. Outside they have a soccer goal and a basketball court. They are also equipped with various exercise machines under the roof.

Saffa and Mohammed can go out on the patio until 5pm in the afternoon. After dinner, the men are locked in a flat where there are neither camp personnel nor cameras. Therefore, if something happened to one of the migrants, the man would not know where to turn for help.
