Another journalist called me this afternoon to ask if my 5-month-old had any clothes she’d outgrown because there was a woman with 3-month-old baby sleeping rough outside the @UNmigration in Tunis after being kicked out of her apartment. 1/

I gathered up some warm things and headed down there. When I arrived I asked after the woman with a baby, and met *another* woman with a 14-month-old baby who was 8 months pregnant with her second. Her sister had the 3-month-old. 2/

While we were talking another woman approached me. She is 7 months pregnant. “We just need shelter” she said. It took me back to the horrible night I spent crossing from Palermo to Tunis in the ferry, sleeping in the floor, 8 months pregnant 3/

These women and their children are exhausted. They are cold and wet. They are homeless and just want a place to lay their head. #Tunisia should be ashamed. 4/4

This is where pregnant women and infants are sleeping tonight. Under tarps. Because their landlords took up Saied’s racist banner and decided to put them out on the street.
