Homelessness is one of
the major problems nowadays. It is affecting the human societies, and
no measures have been taken by the officials to deal with this issue. Millions
to billions of people all over the world have no houses. They, instead, spend
their lives on the footpath or in the temporary shelter centers. This issue has
not only badly impacted poor and needy people, but also many homeless individuals belong to wealthy families. These
individuals have been thrown out of their houses by their own kids or the
relatives. In almost all big cities of England,
USA, UAE, and Asia there are people who cannot afford houses of their own.
One of
the core difficulties in eradicating this problem is that the number of
homeless people is increasing day by day. Extreme poverty, unemployment, domestic violence,
and/or drug abuse have forced
these people to live miserable lives. The cities mentioned here have devastating
numbers of homeless people who
sleep rough every night and they need immediate help.
Dublin
Various
research projects carried out in this Irish city reveals that more than two
thousand people are homeless. The recent years have seen up to twenty people
becoming homeless on a daily basis. There are even individuals who are living
in this miserable condition along with their entire families. They spend their
lives onto the streets. Unfortunately, most of them have not even been provided
with sheltered accommodation. Mike Allen, of the advocacy group Focus,
has claimed that the rise in homelessness is the result of poor global economy and lack of a sufficient number of jobs. As a result of
this, the homeless people can neither afford to buy even a single-room
apartment nor can
they rent any house.
London
Various
factors are behind the increased number of homeless people in London,
England. The reports make it clear that the poverty has reached
an alarming level in different parts of Europe over the last few decades.
Moreover, the uncertain domestic
crises and being
jobless for months push these people behind the race. The massive cut in housing benefits and welfare aids from
the government side has affected up to 25% people of London.
Buenos
Aires.
Buenos
Aires, the capital of Argentina, has undergone extreme
economic problems recently.
The country’s major population is struggling for survival. Thehomeless people start suffering from health
complications due to lack of facilities. Data reveals that approximately 25,000
people in Buenos Aires are spending their lives in either
sheltered accommodation or on the footpath. Amazingly, many of them are in this
situation along with their little children and old-age parents. It is very
unfortunate that the number of homeless individuals in this city is increasing
day by day. They require immediate help. As the government lacks sufficient
funds for combating the problem, NGOs and welfare organizations need to
step to the frore.
Los
Angeles.
Like
various prosperous cities, Los Angeles has a high cost of living, and not all
of the people can afford it. As a result of this, they have been forced to
sleep on the streets. They are left homeless, jobless, and even there, little
or no food available. According to an estimate, the number of homeless people
in this city is up to 50,000. Half of their population is African-American.
The extreme shortage of accommodation has led many of the Americans to sleep without
shelter.#HomelessPeople
