The last week we were already expecting it every day, today the time had come. Until an hour ago it was raining. We felt it directly that bad weather causes people to have more needs for warm drinks and more food. And the overall mood is more tense and conflicts more difficult to resolve.
One of the few easily accessible dry places here in the city is under a bridge at the edge of the river. At the same time, it is dangerous for people to sleep there because the water can rise quickly when it rains for a long time in the mountains.
For a few days now, more people have been staying at the place during the day, and the groups that regularly hand out food in the evening always distribute more than 100 portions.
Some groups of people on the move we have been meeting here for a long time. Moving on seems to be difficult at the moment.
On the one hand we are happy to be a bit more familiar with some people after the time we spent together here, on the other hand it makes us sad every day to see people again who we know would like to be somewhere else already.
At the moment we can offer food, drinks, wifi and electricity and a hair cutting station. Because our group is so small right now, the medical bus has to stay in camp most of the time. For medical needs we take the medical backpack to the site.
