Hidden Workers: The Homeless Sleeping at Madrid Airport

Homeless at Barajas Airport: A Report on the Diverse Profiles of those Sleeping at Madrid's T4. A recent report from Telemadrid sheds light on the situation of homeless individuals residing at Madrid's Barajas Airport, terminal T4. A study by Caritas found that a surprising 38% of those sleeping at the airport leave daily to go to work. The video, featuring interviews with experts and footage of the individuals, paints a picture of the diverse backgrounds of those affected. Many are workers without homes, unemployed, or asylum seekers. The city council has requested a complete report from AENA (Spanish Airports and Air Navigation) to identify those affected and to develop a comprehensive plan to address this issue. One expert interviewed stated, "It's urgent that all administrations—city, region, and national—work together." The report underscores the need for dialogue and collaboration to find solutions for this complex problem.
