A Growing Sense of Insecurity

Hafiz Mohammad, a spokesperson for the Paint City shelter, stated, “We do not feel safe.
A lot of our brothers and sisters already died because of xenophobia. Foreigners are blamed for everything.”
This sentiment reflects the refugees’ unease and the unfortunate consequences they have witnessed.
