The photographs show the state of the area around the boundary chain link fence that is supposed to incorporate the living quarters of the illegal immigrants of the Ħal Far open centre.

Shame on the authorities responsible for the upkeep of the open centre. This neglect is posing a serious health hazard to the immigrants and to the residents living nearby.

The photo above also shows the way people at the centre are being allowed to make use of unprotected electrical appliances (washing machines) outdoors. Besides the unpleasant scenes that are daily noticed by locals and passers-by, the most serious thing is that the individuals who are using such appliances are not aware that our electrical voltage is deadly at 240V!

It is most irresponsible of whoever is allowing such washing up to be carried out outdoors with indoor-type machinery. We are just waiting for some accident to happen.
