The first images come from inside the floating refugee collection boat.
Refugees staying on the Bibby Stockholm floating refugee boat, which came into use in the UK the day before, shared details of the boat, sparking controversy over the videos and photos they took.
Speaking to the British BBC, some Bibby refugees described their living conditions in Stockholm. Refugees who began to stay in Bibby Stockholm, which caused great controversy in the British public, said that the ship looked like “Alcatraz Prison”. Some refugees said: “The beds and food are good.”
The refugees shared the food that was served to them.
While it was announced that 15 people boarded the ship yesterday and 20 refugees refused to board the ship, the ship was claimed to have a capacity of 222 people earlier, and it was augmented with berths. One refugee said that they were served food such as cereals, eggs, cheese, jam and butter, while they filmed a video of the food they were served for breakfast.
Some refugees complained that the rooms were too small.
“The rooms are very small and the constant blocking of the doors and the rattling of the bars makes it feel like we are in Alcatraz prison,” said an Afghan refugee, whose name has not been identified. “My roommate had a panic attack in the middle of the night and he felt like he was suffocating,” said the man, who did not give his name. “There are people among us who take a lot of medication and are depressed,” he said.
Bibby Stockholm caused great controversy in the British public.
“The rooms are very small and the dining room has only 150 seats,” the man told the BBC.
Another man speaking to Britain’s The Sun newspaper said: “I think everything is fine. I like it. Everything is normal. The food is good, the bed is good,” he said.
