Pandemic in informal settlements: "We have neither soap nor washing powder"

"We have nothing, neither soap, nor washing powder, nor disinfectants", that is how the Roma from the Roma settlement "12 February" start their story for the media

About a hundred Roma families live here. In 593 Roma settlements according to the Strategy for Social Inclusion of Roma in Serbia for the period 2016 - 2025, live about 70% of the Roma population.

The problems they face have only increased with the coronavirus pandemic in Serbia, and the measures taken by the official institutions in the fight against the spread of the virus, which means maintaining personal hygiene and hygiene in their environment, and that few were able to to implement it, says the information from the Association of Coordinators for Roma Issues. Almost 25,000 people do not have standard drinking water.

The executive director of that Association, Dragan Gracanin, says that about 5,000 Roma families or about 25,000 Roma are unable to observe and implement personal hygiene measures.
